The Louisiana State Police Commission on Aug. 14 approved a temporary individual pay adjustment of $401.47 biweekly for Captain Courtney Mabu, effective Aug. 14, 2025. The pay adjustment was presented as authorized under commission rule 6.16(c) and will continue until Feb. 3, 2026, when the transcript states he is expected to meet the minimum qualifications for the detail.

A department representative described Captain Mabu as the most experienced available commander for the Criminal Investigations Division, noting 23 years of service and roughly 18 months in his current role. The representative said the CID major position oversees criminal investigations statewide and emphasized Mabu’s prior experience, including command of a force investigative unit that probes officer-involved shootings and serious use-of-force incidents.

Commissioners moved and seconded a motion to approve the temporary pay adjustment; the motion passed by voice vote. No additional financial analysis or funding source for the adjustment was read into the record at the meeting, and the record did not specify whether the adjustment is permanent beyond the stated date or whether it requires further administrative approval.
