# Higher Pensions and Extended Service Incentives Unveiled for Disciplined Corps

## In brief

- Members of Malta's disciplined forces are set to receive improved pension packages.
- New allowances will be introduced for officers who continue working past 25 years of service.
- The measures aim to boost retention and reward long-serving personnel across the disciplined corps.

The government has introduced enhanced pension arrangements and retention incentives for members of Malta's disciplined corps who extend their service.

The revised measures target personnel across the disciplined forces, including the police force, the Armed Forces of Malta, the Civil Protection Department, and the Corradino Correctional Facility.

Under the updated terms, officers who choose to continue working beyond 25 years of service will be eligible for improved pension entitlements alongside a dedicated allowance.

The initiative is designed to retain experienced professionals within the security and emergency services, addressing ongoing workforce and succession challenges.

Historically, members of the disciplined forces have been eligible for retirement after completing 25 years of active service.

By offering financial incentives and more favourable retirement terms, the scheme seeks to persuade veteran officers to remain in their roles and support younger recruits.
