     6  police  force  of  the  city,  whether  by  transfer or as a result of a
     7  competitive examination and appointment, and who is still  a  member  of
     8  the  police  force of the city, shall be included and counted as service
     9  in the police force for the police department of the city in determining
    10  retirement and pension   as provided in this  code,  provided,  however,
    11  that no person becoming a member of the police department of the city in
