Bill > SB00404

This bill proposes to amend section 29-5 of the general statutes to reduce the rate that municipalities pay for resident state troopers who are detailed to work within their jurisdiction through a contract with the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection. A resident state trooper program allows municipalities to have dedicated state police officers working specifically in their community, with the municipality typically paying a portion of the officer's salary and associated costs. By lowering the rate municipalities must pay, the bill aims to make this law enforcement arrangement more financially accessible and attractive to local governments, potentially encouraging more municipalities to participate in the resident state trooper program and enhance local policing capabilities without placing as significant a financial burden on local budgets.
