An Act relative to the diverse recruitment and reform of the Massachusetts State Police

This bill creates a career incentive pay program for Massachusetts State Police officers to encourage higher education and attract diverse candidates. It offers base salary increases tied to the number of points earned for completing accredited degrees, with specific bonuses for associate, bachelor's, master's, and law degrees. To ensure diversity, the program restricts eligibility to graduates of accredited institutions and law schools that have passed the Massachusetts bar exam. The salary increases range from ten percent for an associate degree to twenty-five percent for a master's or law degree, provided the education was earned after the officer's appointment.
