Online Retirement Par Forms

The Department implemented the Online Retirement PAR form program that allows officers to retire electronically. This is the only way that officers can submit a retirement PAR form.

Officers need to log on to the CLEAR application page on the Department intranet site. Members need to click on the Human Resources link to proceed.

Members should read the Memorandum of Understanding that outlines the newly established premium-free healthcare agreement prior to completing and submitting the completed PAR form.
