Department State Police

The Department of State Police – also known as the Michigan State Police (MSP) –provides law enforcement and public safety services throughout the state. In addition to the MSP's primary law enforcement, criminal investigation, and traffic safety duties, the department is also responsible for the administration and implementation of state programs, technologies, and services that enhance the capabilities and coordination of federal, state, and local law enforcement criminal justice agencies.

The MSP provides services that include, but are not limited to:

o Patrol of major state highways

o Records and information management and sharing

o Criminal investigations and forensic science services

o Special services, such as aviation, dive teams, SWAT, and bomb squads

o Coordination of disaster relief and homeland security efforts

o Commercial vehicle regulation and enforcement, and school bus inspections

o Establishment and upholding of law enforcement standards, and provision of grants to local law enforcement agencies


Key Budget Terms

Fiscal Year: The state's fiscal year (FY) runs from October to September. FY 2016-17 is October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017.

Appropriation: Authority to expend funds. An appropriation is not a mandate to spend. Constitutionally, state funds cannot be expended without an appropriation by the Legislature.

Line Item: Specific appropriation amount in a budget bill which establishes spending authorization for a particular program or function.

Boilerplate: Specific language sections in a budget bill which direct, limit, or restrict line item expenditures, express legislative intent, and/or require reports.

Lapse: Appropriated amounts that are unspent or unobligated at the end of a fiscal year. Appropriations are automatically terminated at the end of a fiscal year unless designated as a multi-year work project under a statutory process. Lapsed funds are available for expenditure in the subsequent fiscal year.

Note: Unless otherwise indicated, historical budget figures in this presentation have not been adjusted for inflation.

in FY 2012-13, 2013-14, and 2014-15 are largely due to Trooper Recruit Schools

undertaken to offset promotions and separations and rebuild strength, as well as one-

time disaster assistance in FY 2014-15 in response to flash-flooding in the Detroit area.
