§ 32053 Disability Retirement For Officers

• •If a police officer gets hurt or sick because of their job, they can retire early, no matter their age or how long they've worked.
• •If a police officer gets hurt or sick for any other reason, they can retire early only if they've worked for at least 10 years.
• •A special group decides if the officer is really too hurt or sick to work.

A police officer breaks their leg while chasing a suspect and can't walk properly anymore.

Since the officer got hurt while doing their job, they can retire early, even if they're young or haven't worked for 10 years yet.
