Submitted by Frank J Kiernan, President, Retired Police Association of GreenwichI am Frank Kiernan, President of the Retired Police Association of Greenwich (RPAoG), and send this letter to the editor in hopes to reach the residents of Greenwich. I read with great interest the Sunday July 19, 2026, Greenwich Time Op-Ed piece by Alma Rutgers about the 130-year anniversary of the Greenwich Police Department. In it, former employees described how members lived in town, the close-knit community that formed as a result. That is no longer the case with the current Chief citing among other issues the lack of a defined pension plan. I retired in 2006; there has not been a single increase in the pension for 20 years.
