(a)

Any police officer or firefighter whose retirement or other benefits or payments are revoked pursuant to article V of this chapter shall be entitled to a return of his or her contribution paid into the pension fund without interest.

(b)

Any police officer or firefighter whose retirement or other benefits or payments are reduced pursuant to article V of this chapter shall be entitled to a pro rata return of a portion of his or her contribution paid into the pension fund in an amount proportionate to the amount of any such reduction, without interest.

(c)

Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of this section, no payments in return of contributions shall be made or ordered unless and until the board of trustees determines that the police officer or firefighter whose retirement or other benefits or payments have been revoked or reduced under article V of this chapter has satisfied in full any judgments or orders rendered by any court of competent jurisdiction for the payment of restitution for losses incurred by any person as a result of the subject crime related to public employment. If the board of trustees determines that the police officer or firefighter whose retirement or other benefits or payments have been revoked or reduced under article V of this chapter has failed to satisfy any outstanding judgment or order of restitution rendered by any court of competent jurisdiction, it may order that any funds otherwise due to the police officer or firefighter as a return of contribution, or any portion thereof, be paid in satisfaction of the judgment or order.
