DPS Student Loan Reimbursement Survey

Many MAPE members have told us that student loan debt reimbursement is one of their most pressing issues. We’re compiling information to see how this issue affects Department of Public Safety (DPS) employees to share with Commissioner Harrington and other DPS leadership to highlight the prevalence of student loan debt in our agency as student loan reimbursement language is now in the contract.

Personal information will be kept confidential and will only be shared in aggregate (average/mean) unless you check the box to have your story shared. We will contact you if you check this box. Questions about specific debt level and monthly payment refer only to your student loans, not those of a partner, spouse or family member.
