Retired Kentucky State Police officers can return

The law lets retired Kentucky State Police officers be hired as Trooper R Class or as commercial vehicle enforcement officer R Class. You must have been a commissioned officer before you retired and have at least 20 years of service credit. You must be a retired member of the State Police Retirement System or the Kentucky Employees Retirement System. You must be separated from the Department for at least 1 month but no more than 60 months. Measure this from your retirement date, or from your last separation if you served in R Class before. You must have retired willingly, with no pending administrative charges, and with no deal to return to work. This takes effect immediately.
