officers.

pension system is established, the marshal and constable shall be
included in the system and, for the purpose of carrying out this
article and enabling them to benefit thereby, they shall be deemed to
be county employees for this purpose and the pension provided and
payable to the marshal and constable is a legal charge against the
county, subject to the provisions of such county and township peace
officers' retirement or pension system.

the benefits of a pension or retirement annuity pursuant to this
article, there shall be counted the time such person has served in a
similar capacity with regard to his duties as an officer of any
superseded court in the county, or that he may have served as a peace
officer, as defined in the county and township peace officers'
pension or retirement act in the county. The service shall be

officers' pension or retirement act.
