Excerpts from fox32chicago.com:
The mandatory retirement age for police and firefighters in Chicago may undergo a change as the Chicago City Council’s Committee on Police and Fire convened on Monday to discuss the possibility of raising the retirement age to 65.
Currently, the mandatory retirement age for these personnel is 63. While some opponents argue for lowering it to 60, proponents suggest that raising the age could help retain institutional knowledge and maintain staffing levels.
