Sec. 4. (a) The 1925 fund is derived from the following sources:
(1) From money or other property that is given to the local board for the use of the fund. The local board may take by gift, grant, devise, or bequest of any money, chose in action, personal property, or real property, or an interest in it. The local board shall take the property in the name of the local board and may hold, assign, transfer, or sell it.
(2) From money, fees, and awards that are paid or given to the police department of the municipality or to a member of the department because of service or duty performed by the department or a member. This includes fines imposed by the safety board against a member of the department, as well as the proceeds from the sale of lost, stolen, and confiscated property recovered or taken into possession by members of the police department in the performance of their duties and sold at a public sale in accordance with law.
(3) From an assessment made during the period of the member's employment or for thirty-two (32) years, whichever is shorter, on the salary of each member whom the local board has accepted and designated as a beneficiary of the 1925 fund, an amount equal to six percent (6%) of the salary of a first class patrolman. However, the employer may pay all or a part of the assessment for the member.
(b) The secretary of the local board shall prepare a roll of each of the assessments and place opposite the name of every member of the police department the amount of the assessment against the member. The treasurer of the local board shall retain out of the salary paid to the member each month the amount of the assessment, other than any amount paid on behalf of the member, and credit it to the 1925 fund. Except to the extent the assessment is paid on behalf of the member, every person becoming a member of the police department is liable for the payment of the assessments and is conclusively considered to agree to pay it and have it deducted from the member's salary as required in this section.
