Jamestown (CSi) The Stutsman County Commission will be giving local law enforcement a survey to help determine if they should implement, the North Dakota Public Employees Retirement System (PERS.)<\/p>\n

The system allows officers to make their own contributions so they may retire at an earlier date.<\/p>\n

She received a letter from Bowman County Sheriff Rory M. Teigen stating the benefits of PERS.<\/p>\n
