 5 such member who was previously credited with service credit in the New
 6 York state and local employees' retirement system as a deputy sheriff,
 7 county corrections officer, or member in the uniformed personnel in
 8 institutions under the jurisdiction of the department of corrections and
 9 community supervision as defined in subdivision i of section eighty-nine
 10 of this chapter and who was engaged directly in law enforcement activ-
 11 ities while performing such services shall receive three months of
 12 service credit for each such five months of previous service, up to a
 13 total of no greater than two years of previous service credit.
 14 (ii) To obtain such credit, a member shall pay such retirement system,
 15 for deposit in the fund used to accumulate employer contributions, a sum
 16 equal to the product of the number of years of police service being
 17 claimed and three percent of such member's compensation earned during
 18 the twelve months of credited service immediately preceding the date
 19 that the member made application for credit pursuant to this section. If
 20 permitted by rule or regulation of the retirement system, the member may
 21 pay such member costs by payroll deduction for a period which shall not
 22 exceed the time period of police service to be credited pursuant to this
 23 section. In the event the member leaves the employer payroll prior to
