Identifier: 1802-J9

Scope and Contents Note

The Seattle Police Relief & Pension Board is a seven member quasi-judicial body, chaired by the Mayor or their designee. The board formulates policy, rules upon disability applications, and provides oversight of the Police Pension Fund. There are three staff employees of the Board who handle all of its operational functions. On March 1, 1970, the State of Washington took over the provision of certain police pensions through the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) section 41.26 Law Enforcement Officers and Fire Fighters (LEOFF) Act Plan I. The Seattle Police Relief & Pension (SPRP) Fund is responsible for all pre-LEOFF pension benefits. Both SPRP and LEOFF are closed systems and have had no new enrollments since October 1, 1977. The Police Relief & Pension Board oversees the SPRP Fund. The annual reports of this board include a census of members, deaths, retirements, and health benefits used. Also included in the reports are fund balances, budgets, and a brief history of the fund.
