Seminar Information

Available to Active Employees Only

In planning for your future, it is vital that you have the right information. That’s why we have prepared two pre-retirement planning seminars: one for our members early in their career and one for members who are near retirement.

  • Fine-Tuning Your Retirement Plans: Developed for active members within 5 years of retirement. This format emphasizes financial planning and estate planning strategies for your retirement years.
  • Planning For Your Future: Developed for active members in the early stages of their career. This format emphasizes savings and investment opportunities available to you to supplement your Fire & Police Pension Plan.

The seminars we’ve held to date have been very successful. Here are quotes from members who attended the seminars:

“Well thought out program – excellent notebook and presentation. Concise and useful information.”

“Should be mandatory training for all Department employees at least every five years." Anonymous, Feb. 2007

A great overview of retirement needs." J. Green, Oct. 2007

Seminar attendance is by invitation only. Members are invited to seminars based on years of service and level of interest.

  • The Department of Fire and Police Pensions will mail you an invitation.
  • If you respond to the invitation and we select you to attend, you will receive a confirmation notice indicating time and location.

Your spouse or domestic partner is encouraged to attend!
