DPS estimates that the list of officers would decrease by 30% depending on the difficulty of proficiency testing. Assuming that it, there is an estimated annual costs would equal $934,800 (1,114 officers x 70% proficiency x $100 per month x 12 months per year). Additional benefit costs are estimated at $112,190 per year.
