California Court of Appeal October 3, 1983, Civ. 68307 (Thelander v. City of El Monte)

Opinion

JOHNSON, J.

This case presents an issue not specifically addressed in earlier decisions, as best our research can determine. Is a probationary safety officer disabled during police academy training entitled to a disability retirement pension? Under the circumstances of this case, we hold the trial court acted properly in ordering the pension board to grant the requested disability pension.
