other jurisdictions. Future budgets should
address this issue by making needed
adjustments to the pay plan over a
reasonable period of time. Not later than
September 1, 1996, the Department of State
Police shall submit a report to the budget
committees which examines salary
disparities among State and local police
forces for entry, mid-career, and senior
officers and provides a multi-year plan to
improve or maintain competitiveness of
State Police officers' salaries.
