More post dissection, do you dissect the greetings in Christmas cards?
There aren't specific parts to address in Xmas cards. V8 Fettler said:
Most potential recruits in the 20 - 30 age range will have little interest in pension arrangements.
I don't think you should make such assumptions. V8 Fettler said:
Other occupations are not immune to the risk of reduced income in the event of physical deterioration, why should the police be any different?
They're not, but you then plant a seed from day one that there's only downside from taking risks. The risks that are necessary to keep the UK police unarmed and keep things working how they do. If people believe they're going to have their pay linked to their physical condition later in service, then they'll do what they need to to avoid risks in a manner which will only harm the public. If you create a link between a reduction in pay later in life and taking risks, then I don't think you'll be creating a policing culture that benefits anyone.

The average personal pension pot at retirement is £40k, http://www.theguardian.com/money/2014/may/10/confu... , pensions are not important to most people throughout most of their lives.
Clearly, there are and have been some very brave policemen, but I wasn't aware that the police as a profession routinely place themselves at particular risk. There must be some statistics somewhere.

It doesn't have to be entirely rational. Major injuries are rare, but every police officer also knows of some who'll be badly injured. The low probability / high impact scenario becomes very vivid when there's significant financial risk attached to it. La Liga said:

As there is for other occupations.While we are on the subject of multi millionaire singers and composers, I see that Elton John may be in a bit of trouble.

Sir Elton John forced himself on a former security guard, grabbing the man's genitals on multiple occasions ... at least that's the claim in a lawsuit just filed against Elton.
Jeffrey Wenninger says 3 alleged incidents went down in 2014. In the suit, Wenninger says he and Elton were in a car together when Elton put his hands in Wenninger's pants. He says Elton attempted to grab his genitals and put his fingers between Wenninger's butt cheeks.
According to the suit, Elton then told him to "Get your todger out" and "say hello to Uncle Elton."

hich may well be occupations that are much more risk averse than the police currently are.
There will be a range of occupations that are more risk adverse than the police and there will be a range of occupations that are less risk adverse than the police, but very few occupations have the opportunity for early retirement as a result of injury. This is probably now ping-pong.V8 Fettler said:

It's hard to draw comparisons. Regardless, creating a situation where you'll link physical fitness and capability to pay will only have a detrimental impact. I'd speculate it's exceptionally unlikely to occur so it's practically irrelevant. It's an issue for the government / management of the future to sort so I don't worry too much.
