Transferring your pension

If you leave service before your pension is due to be paid, you may ask for your pension benefits to be transferred to another pension scheme.

Pensions Services would work out the transfer value of your PPS pension using Government Actuary guidance and offer it to the new pension scheme. The transfer will only go ahead if you instruct that it should.

Moving to another police force

• If you transfer to another police force without a break in service, you will stay in the the PPS and your pension will transfer with you.
• If you transfer to another police force after a break in service, you will become a member of the NPPS (or the new scheme from April 2015) and your deferred pension will stay separate unless you choose to transfer it
