separated from service voluntarily or involuntarily other than by removal for cause
on charges of misconduct or delinquency, shall be deemed to meet the maximum age requirement
for appointment established by N.J.S.40A:14-127 , if his actual age, less the number of years of his previous service as a law enforcement

person may be appointed who is over the age of 45 as of the date of his reappointment;
except that in the case of a State trooper, sheriff's officer or deputy, or county

requirement for appointment by complying with the procedure established hereinbefore
without regard to his actual age at the time of reappointment. b. For the purposes of meeting the maximum age requirement for appointment established
by N.J.S.40A:14-127 and for the purpose of taking any civil service examination for appointment as a
municipal police officer, the Civil Service Commission , for good cause shown, may deem an individual a former State trooper, sheriff's officer
