Not sure where your wage figures come from but CPS right now gets $73-78K/y for new officers and they get to $121K in 4 years. Then they can get further compensation for extra duty, specialization, etc.

The vast majority retire as a constable. The rank scheme is set up that way as is pretty well most places including the private sector - a pyramid where the majority are constables which is exactly what retirement looks like.

Very few retire at 50. Some go earlier, some go later but as I said, 55 seems to be the average age of most.

50% pension at 121k is 60k.
