New police recruits joining ASPS
Once you become a police officer with ASPS, your employer will automatically enroll you in SFPP. You and your employer will begin contributing through payroll.
Transferring previous pension service
If you participated in a pension plan in your previous employment and you left your entitlement in that plan (meaning you are deferred), you may be able to transfer your pensionable service into SFPP through the National Transfer Agreement (NTA).
If your former pension plan doesn’t participate in the NTA, you may still be able to take a lump-sum payout of that benefit and purchase a portion or the full amount of service under SFPP.
