Bills Seek To Raise Pay For WSP Troopers

(Olympia, WA)  --  Legislation that's being considered in committee would give pay raises to Washington State Patrol troopers.  One bill would increase a trooper's pay by seven-and-a-half-percent over three years, and the other would make pay more competitive with other law enforcement agencies.  WSP officials have said the agency struggles to recruit troopers, and has lost many officers to other law enforcement agencies that offer higher pay.  Both bills are being considered by the Senate Committee on Transportation.
