State Police can turn leave into service credit

Beginning June 10, 2026, West Virginia State Police members can choose at retirement to turn unused annual or sick leave into extra service credit. A leave day equals 8 hours. If you first joined before July 1, 2015, each 1 day of leave gives 2 days of credit. If you first joined on or after July 1, 2015, each 1 day of leave gives 1 day of credit. Twenty days equals one month of service. A remainder of 10 to 19 days counts as a full month; less than 10 days is dropped. You cannot get more than 12 months of credited service in any year.
