Mass.: 245 State Cops Made $200K in 2017

Maybe one day your gifted child will grow up to be a lawyer, or doctor … or Massachusetts state trooper. The median pay for Bay State troopers is pretty sweet - $145,413 – and there are plenty of opportunities to earn much, much more. Last year 245 state troopers, or about 12 percent of the force, made more than $200,000, often by working long overtime shifts or taking on multiple details directing traffic or providing security at special events. Four troopers collected more than $300,000.
