The Pension Fund has already done the arithmetic. What it has not done is tell you what any of it means. Type the nine figures off your own statement and this page will read them back to you, then print the questions your statement cannot answer.
Most officers do not have one, and that is the honest first obstacle. There is no button that produces it. You ask for it on a form, and the fastest route turns it round in about a day.
Its title is Pension Statement Request, and the Fund’s own shorthand for it is Form 70. One form covers Tier 2 and Tier 3. You can download it from the Fund, and you will find it on the Fund’s downloadable forms page as “70 – Pension Statement Request”.
The first line of its instructions is the one to note: one request per 30-day period. So it is worth getting the request right rather than firing one off and finding you have to wait a month to correct it. The form asks you to pick the period it should cover — the most recent January to December, or the twelve months to the most recent pay period.
No notary. The Fund’s own instruction sheets say the statement is posted to your Docs tab and that it usually takes 24 hours. This is the fast route and the only one you control end to end.
webCOPS is the Fund’s portal, not a Department system, and it is not self-service for this — you still complete Form 70 and upload it. The address is webcopsmss.v3locity.com. Several Fund instruction sheets still print an older webcops.org address that no longer resolves. Registering is not instant either: the plan document says to call the Fund’s call centre on (646) 905-5596 and ask for a PIN to be posted to your address on file, so if you are not already set up, start that first.
Notary required. The form says so twice. It goes to NYC Police Pension Fund, Membership Services, 233 Broadway, 25th Floor, New York, NY 10279, and the Fund says it will post a copy back, usually in a few business days.
The Fund’s own documents disagree about whether a walk-in needs a notary, so we are not going to tell you it is settled. The forms page ties the requirement to mailing; the current plan document says anything not submitted through webCOPS needs notarising.
Related Fund forms accept a staff name and signature in place of a notary seal, so taking it in unsigned and signing at the counter is the way to avoid a wasted trip. A 2026 Fund notice directs in-person submissions to 233 Broadway, 19th Floor rather than the 25th — check before you travel.
There is also an Annual Statement, and it is a different piece of paper — it reports your account balance and any shortage rather than the retirement projection Form 70 produces. The Fund distributes it through commands rather than posting it out, and its 2024 notice was explicit that statements are not handed to members who walk in: your command collects them. We could not find a notice for 2025 or 2026 anywhere on the Fund’s site, and neither plan document mentions an annual statement at all, so the honest position is that your command may hand you one in the spring and you cannot count on it.
And if you have already booked a retirement appointment, you do not need Form 70 for a projection — the plan document says an applicant receives a pension estimate after meeting a retirement processor. It is an estimate, and it is described as one.
Everything in this section is from the Fund’s own form, forms index, webCOPS page, retirement instruction sheets and Tier 2 plan document, June 2026 edition. Procedures and floor numbers change; confirm before you travel.
Copy the figures across exactly as they are printed. Leave anything blank that your statement does not show — a blank is read as “not answered” and nothing below will be worked out from it.
The first box on your statement.
The second box. Note it often carries a different date.
These figures stay on your device. The reading below is worked out by your own browser. Nothing you type here is sent to us, stored by us, or written down anywhere, and you can close the tab and it is gone.
Every line below is arithmetic on the numbers you just typed. You can check all of it against your own paper with a calculator. None of it is a forecast and none of it is a recommendation.
What the pension nets after tax, what your deferred compensation has to do, the years before Social Security starts, and which survivor option you are choosing between — the calculator and the Retirement Snapshot cover all of it on your own numbers, on your own device.
Educational information only. Not investment, tax or legal advice, not a recommendation, and not a guarantee. Confirm every figure and every date with the New York City Police Pension Fund before acting.
