    Question: Is there a way to supplement my salary?

    Answer: Yes. An officer can receive $30 monthly for an Associate degree and an additional $50 for a Bachelor degree or higher, providing the degree is from an accredited university recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

    An officer can also receive $20 monthly for every 80 hours of advanced training taken from a Commission-certified training school. Attendance in an advanced course must be approved by the agency administrator.

    The maximum salary incentive is $130 per month for training and education. Salary incentive money is not funded by the state and must be budgeted and approved by the employing agency.
