No, pensions are a separate issue entirely from social security. As long as you have contributed to social security you'll get social security. It's only if you didn't contribute to social security while being a policeman that you would get affected with social security.

It depends on whether or not you were cut FICA taxes while you were a police officer. If you weren't, then there is a probability that it will reduce your SS. However, if you had any work at all where you were cut SS taxes (aka covered wages) that can help offset any reduction.
You can search for more information at www.socialsecurity.gov on the subject of Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). There is also a publication you can downoad: SSA Publication No. 05-10045.
You can contact any local Social Security office to obtain more information or call 1-800-772-1213.

No, however whether or not any of your SS might be taxable MIGHT be affected by your other income.
