The way I would set it up, is that, if training costs $35,000, the officer gets a bill for $35,000 after they finish training. Every year they work for the DPD they get $5,000 taken off of their bill. After seven years of service it's paid off. Or, they can pay it off faster if they want. Either way, the DPD benefits by having the cost paid off by the officer, or have an officer work consistently for seven years. It would cost the DPD nothing extra. I don't think it would require any state legislation, either, as it isn't much different than any other college.
