MACPOST is a quarterly publication written by it's members regarding corrections activities in Minnesota. It contains information about upcoming training opportunities, information from the president, a sponsored county of the month, financial information and advertisements for correctional services. Please take a look.
Do you have information about a program, resource or facility working within corrections or the criminal justice system whose creativity, resourcefulness, effectiveness or innovation would be of interest to the readers of the MACPOST?
The MACPO Legislative Committee assigned an "Option 60" sub-committee
to look into an early retirement option for probation officers and corrections agents
funded by increased employee contributions to PERA.
PERA conducted an actuarial study in 2008, and the findings were presented
to MACPO on April 20th, 2009. Here are the results of the study in PDF format. Also, an informational newsletter was put together in October 2009, explaining the Early Retirement Option and how it works in PDF format.
