Bill > H3888

This bill establishes the rank of "first lieutenant" within the state police, a new temporary rank that will be held by individuals designated by the colonel to lead a specific station or unit. This rank is temporary and only applies while the person is serving as the head of that station or unit. To qualify for this temporary rank, an individual must already be employed by the department as a lieutenant, and they will receive the same pay as a detective lieutenant. The bill makes these changes by amending Chapter 22C of the General Laws, specifically by inserting language to create this new rank and its associated provisions.
