The Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance (TDCI) and the Tennessee Peace Officers Standards Training (POST) Commission have announced the Salary Supplement Rollout for all eligible law enforcement officers and SROs.
According to a press release, this summer, eligible law enforcement officers will receive an $800 retention bonus if they have completed their 2023 in-service hours.
