Mack (HB 155) Act No. 785
Existing law provides supplemental pay of $500 per month to every commissioned law
enforcement officer employed on a full-time basis by a police agency of the state or its
political subdivisions, other than DPS&C and the Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries,
headquartered in New Orleans who provides police services to the general public while
patrolling levees, waterways, and riverfront areas, or while patrolling bridges that are within
the city limits. Requires such law enforcement officers to have completed one year of
service to be eligible for such supplemental pay.

a P.O.S.T.-certified law enforcement officer employed by DPS&C, the Dept. of Wildlife and
Fisheries, the division of probation and parole, or a retired state police officer who receives
compensation under provisions of existing law (R.S. 40:1457).
Effective Aug. 1, 2014.
