Prince George's County Police Pension Plan is a public defined-benefit pension covering sworn police officers in Maryland's second-largest county.
Prince George's County Police Pension Plan
The Prince George's County Police Pension Plan was established by county ordinance to provide retirement benefits for sworn police officers in Prince George's County, Maryland. It is governed by a board of trustees that includes county officials and police union representatives. The plan is funded through employee contributions and county appropriations. The plan maintains a multi-asset-class portfolio that includes public equities, fixed income, real estate, private credit, infrastructure, and hedge funds. It has recognized compliance with funding and administration standards from the Public Pension Coordinating Council. The plan participates in both fund commitments and direct investments across its alternative allocation. Administration is managed within the county's government structure, drawing on staff from the Office of Management and Budget and other departments. The plan has received awards from the Public Pension Coordinating Council for its governance practices. The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #112 provides member input through its representation on the board. The plan distinguishes itself by balancing return objectives with the needs of a relatively small public safety workforce. Its governance structure — blending elected officials, county staff, and active duty police representatives — creates a direct line between members and investment decisions. The plan does not publish total AUM or detailed portfolio holdings publicly.
