Numbers released exclusively to our political reporter show that 285 troopers are needed to fill the slotted 575 positions.
Executive director of the State Troopers Association, Neil Tew, says a lack of troopers leads to more accidents.
The lack of pay also plays a factor in the shortage. State troopers earn less than local police and sheriffs’ deputies. A starting salary for a state trooper ranges from $39,664.80 to $66,331.20, depending on education level.
