The Illinois State Police has announced a significant increase in starting pay for new State Troopers, effective July 1, 2024. According to the Illinois State Police, new Troopers will now earn a total amount of compensation above $90k upon graduation from the Illinois State Police Academy.

In a time when police departments across the state are facing challenges in recruiting quality officers to ensure the safety of communities, this pay raise is a welcome development. As an unnamed source mentioned, "Police Departments across the state are struggling to hire quality police officers to keep our communities and people safe."

Individuals interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement and becoming a State Trooper are encouraged to visit illinoistrooper.com to apply for this opportunity.
