The Michigan State Police (MSP) recognizes the importance and is committed to hiring individuals who are uniquely different while working together as one. We are seeking to hire people who believe in holding themselves accountable to forge authentic relationships, who want to make a difference in their communities, and want to provide the highest quality public service to all citizens throughout Michigan.
The minimum requirements for employment are as follows:
Recruits are paid approximately $3,800 per month, including health benefits during recruit school. Base salary increases to approximately $50,000 annually with a raise upon completion of one year.
