Any member of such county police department may become a member by filing with the
board of trustees his election in writing to become such member on or before the date
upon which this act becomes effective in such county under such rules and regulations
as the board of trustees shall adopt. Each such member of a county police department so electing to become a member, shall
file, immediately after becoming a member, with the board of trustees a detailed statement
of all service rendered by him as policeman to his present employer prior to the date
when this act becomes effective in such county, for which he claims credit. As soon as practicable thereafter the board of trustees shall verify such statement

service, unless thereafter modified by the board of trustees upon application made
