See How Much Former Police Chief Will Get for Retirement Benefits

Former Waltham Police Chief Thomas LaCroix, who was convicted of assaulting his wife earlier this year, will receive $96,342.48 in annual retirement benefits, according to Waltham Retirement Director Joseph Juppe.

Juppe revealed the number on Tuesday weeks after the Waltham Retirement Board unanimously granted LaCroix's application for retirement benefits. 

The pension is not eligible for state taxes but will be taxed by the federal government, Juppe said.

The annual figure was calculated based on a formula laid out in state law that considers age, length of service and the worker's highest three consecutive earning years, Juppe said. 

In LaCroix's case, he only received 53 percent of what he would have been eligible for if had he served longer, Juppe said. 

LaCroix served 27 years as a Waltham officer and retired at age 50, Juppe said. 

In June, LaCroix was convicted of attacking his wife at their Maynard home during a 2012 incident. He was later sentenced to probation. Soon after his sentencing, LaCroix resigned as police chief and applied for retirement benefits.
