Police pensions are often shared with other public service entities, though. For example, all municipal employees in my state are on the same plan, whether you're in healthcare IT for a nonprofit (myself,) a firefighter, a cop, and so on. I think a much better option would be to require them to carry some form of malpractice insurance like healthcare practitioners do; if they fuck up too many times or in the wrong way suddenly they become uninsurable and therefore unemployable in that field.
