Pension System
As of 2012, the SUNY police is the only state police agency that does not participate in the police and fireman's pension system. As the force did not exist when the pension system was established for the other groups, SUNY officers remain outside the system. The SUNY police do not receive extra pay for nighttime shifts, a benefit granted to others state employees.

Famous quotes containing the words pension and/or system:
“It is a sort of ranger service. Arnold’s expedition is a daily experience with these settlers. They can prove that they were out at almost any time; and I think that all the first generation of them deserve a pension more than any that went to the Mexican war.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
