Board Recognizing Gail Jensen at Fire Fighter Retirement Ceremony
The San Antonio Fire & Police Pension Fund is pleased to announce that the Board of Trustees has appointed Gail A. Jensen as its next Executive Director. Jensen steps into the role following the retirement of Warren J. Schott, who concludes 28 years of exceptional service to the Fund and its members. Under Schott’s leadership, the Fund grew from $1 billion in 2003 to $4.5 billion today — a testament to his steady hand for the fund’s disciplined governance, strong investment strategy, and commitment to San Antonio’s firefighters, police officers, retirees, and their families. Jensen has been a trusted leader as SAFPPF’s general counsel for nine years, bringing extensive experience in pension administration, governance, and member service. “Gail has earned the trust of this Board, our members, and our staff,” said SAFPPF Board Chairman Shawn Griffin. “She is exceptionally well prepared to guide the Fund into its next chapter.” Jensen shared her appreciation for the opportunity to serve: “It is an honor to support the men and women who protect our city. Warren leaves behind a legacy of strength and stability, and I look forward to building on that foundation while continuing to modernize our operations and serve our members with excellence.” Please join us in congratulating Gail on her new role and in thanking Warren for his decades of dedicated service.

The San Antonio Fire & Police Pension Fund gathered on February 25, 2026, to honor Executive Director Warren J. Schott for his extraordinary 28 years of service to the Fund and its members. This video captures the full plaque presentation, the Board’s formal Resolution of Appreciation, and heartfelt remarks from trustees and colleagues.

During the ceremony, the Board recognized Warren for his decades of leadership, beginning with his service as Chief Investment Officer in 1997 and continuing through his tenure as Executive Director starting in 2003. As noted in the resolution, the Fund grew from $900 million in 1997 to more than $4.5 billion at the time of his retirement. Trustees praised his “exceptional leadership, unmatched dedication,” and his role as “an outstanding fiduciary” whose investment expertise guided the Fund for three decades.

Warren also shared personal reflections on his years working with firefighters and police officers, describing the work as “a perfect fit” and recalling the camaraderie, trust, and shared mission that shaped his career . Board members followed with emotional tributes, emphasizing his advocacy at the state legislature, his mentorship, and the deep friendships formed over the years.

The Fund also acknowledged the leadership transition to Gail A. Jensen, appointed by the Board of Trustees as the next Executive Director. Warren expressed full confidence in her, noting that “it’s going to be a smooth transition” after their nine years working together.

This video stands as a tribute to Warren’s legacy and his lasting impact on the pensioners, staff, and trustees of the San Antonio Fire & Police Pension Fund.

2026 COLA Update for SAFPPF Retirees
The Board took action Wednesday in reviewing and ratifying a Cost-of-Living Adjustment in view of an increase in the U.S. Consumer Price Index. That index rose by 2.70% in 2025, and therefore SAFPPF retirees will see cost-of-living increases in 2026 based on their retirement date:
• Retired before Oct. 1, 1999 : COLA: 2.7% Effective: January 1, 2026
• Retired from Oct. 1, 1999 through Jan. 1, 2025 : COLA: 2.0% Effective: January 1, 2026
• Retiring on or after Jan. 1, 2025: COLA: 2.0%, prorated based on full months retired as of Dec. 31, 2025 Effective: January 1, 2026
These adjustments follow the two-tier structure established in the 2009 pension law amendments and are based on CPI-U data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
