He resigned from the police force before his disciplinary proceedings where he would have been sacked. I don't know if that means he keeps his pension.

The ITV news report has a quote from a member of the boy's family: "He has autism and he struggles a lot. He is much younger in his head, more like a five year old. He is also small for his age as he had growth problems."

The article says he retired before disciplinary proceedings were concluded so my guess is that he did. Once he’s over 55, like most people he’d be able to access his pension. There is a mechanism where police forces can appeal for partial forfeiture of a pension so it may be possible.
