Add a runner who recently competed in an Escape from Alcatraz triathlon to the rogues gallery of NYPD cops who retired on a taxpayer-funded disability pension.
Rachel Niccoll, who spent 13 years on the force before retiring in 2009, receives the generous pension package that pays her $66,083 a year, plus benefits — and also regularly runs races in New York, records show.
The New York City Police Pension Fund confirmed Niccoll — who worked in the 24th Precinct on the Upper West Side — received the disability pension but would not reveal the nature of her injury.
Online records show that three years after retirement she competed in the 2012 Harryman triathlon on Bear Mountain. At the 2013 Escape From Alcatraz triathlon she placed 50th in her age group. All told, Niccoll competed in at least eight triathlons, including in Thailand and Ireland. Numerous photos of her at finish lines are posted online.
Between 2013 and February 2015, she also competed in at least 15 running competitions in New York City — including the 2014 New York City Marathon, records show.

Heck, I’ll give her a workout and she won’t have to leave the house...
I’d bet everybody knows at least one disability fraud.
They’ll call her in for a new examination and decide what to do after that.
Here in New york we had a scandal some years back where EVERYBODY who worked for the Long Island railroad and was retiring was also given disability, as if punching train tickets is harmful to the health. It’s a mathematical certainty, anything connected to government you are all but guaranteed to find extreme corruption, and this administration thinks Obamacare won’t go through the same crap? Absolute pure theft of taxpayer money. Every April 15th I go nuts thinking about this stuff, paying taxes through the nose and it all gets ripped off and if it isn’t ripped, treasonous rats like this Obama are throwing it at countries who wouldn’t hesitate to kill me like Iran.
Yet another case of #NewYorkValues
Ghads, she runs the half marathon faster than I do... Glad she can do it on the public’s dime for the rest of her life...
Looks like she’s living it up.
