I thought about things along the lines of the second one, but I have absolutely no idea how to implement it, or even what it would mean. (The investigation would be a governmental requirement and funded by public dollars, right? How do you prevent the "independent third party" from being co-opted by the folks who sign the checks? It's tricky.)
The third of these is really intriguing. I worry that even fantastic rookie cops wouldn't be able to afford to get to that 5+ year point, though. Maybe make the reimbursement match the average cost for an officer with the corresponding years of experience (at least until they hit the 5 year mark)?
