Concerning the recruitment and retention of Washington state patrol commissioned officers.

Summary

  • Increases compensation for Washington State Patrol (WSP) troopers, sergeants, lieutenants, and captains by 5 percent effective July 1, 2016.
  • Requires salary levels on July 1, 2017, for troopers and sergeants to be guided by the average of compensation paid to the corresponding rank from six specified local law enforcement agencies, and requires proportionate increases for certain captains and lieutenants.
  • Increases the distribution of the vehicle license fee to the State Patrol Highway Account by $3.25 and makes a corresponding decrease in the distribution to the Motor Vehicle Fund effective July 1, 2017.
  • Requires the WSP to develop an outreach and marketing strategic plan that looks for ways to reach groups and individuals who do not show an interest in law enforcement, and requires polling of applicants to determine the success of each outreach method.
  • Directs the Office of Financial Management, the WSP, and the Select Committee on Pension Policy to take various steps with respect to implementing the recommendations of the Joint Transportation Committee’s WSP Recruitment and Retention Study.
