The Washington State Department of Retirement Systems (DRS) administers all retirement systems for public employees, including Police Officers and Fire Fighters. City of Redmond employees may belong to one of six DRS plans, including: PERS 1, PERS 2, PERS 3, PSERS 2, LEOFF 1, or LEOFF 2. 

Each plan is a defined benefit plan that provides full pension benefits based on the retirement eligibility age of the member. The PERS 3 plan offers, in addition to a defined benefit, a member funded defined contribution component. Current handbooks outlining the details of each plan, as well as forms and other helpful information, are available on the DRS website link below.
