Salary Schedule C

Salary Schedule C is used for law enforcement jobs. This salary schedule differs from the A and B schedules in that it allows for automatic increases based on years of service.

The agencies using this schedule maintain the criteria for these career ladders; each agency has the authority to determine the specific criteria required for an employee to move from one level to another.

For example, the trooper series at the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) starts at the DPS Academy as a trooper-trainee at a C1 pay group with an annual salary of $48,255, then at graduation and commission moves to a probationary trooper I at a C2 pay group with an annual salary of $52,441. The C3 pay group establishes salary increases for troopers based on years of service as defined by the agency. The annual salary range for a C3 is $62,715 – $93,414.
