    each State to be assigned to a statewide police force or forces);
        (3) provide that participants shall be assigned to those

        enforcement personnel; and
            (B) the participants will be used most effectively;

        (5) provide that to the extent feasible, a participant's

            (A) prior to commencement of a participant's fourth year of 
        undergraduate study, under such circumstances as the plan may 
        specify; and
            (B) from commencement of a participant's fourth year of 
        undergraduate study until completion of 4 years of police 
        service by participant, only for compelling reasons or to meet 
        the needs of the State Police Corps program and only with the 
        consent of the participant;

        (6) provide that no participant shall be assigned to serve with

    appointment following completion of Federal training, or may remove 
    a participant from the Police Corps program at any time, only for 
    good cause (including failure to make satisfactory progress in a 
    course of educational study) and after following reasonable review 
    procedures stated in the plan; and
        (10) provide that a participant shall, while serving as a member 
    of a police force, be compensated at the same rate of pay and 
    benefits and enjoy the same rights under applicable agreements with 
    labor organizations and under State and local law as other police 
    officers of the same rank and tenure in the police force of which 
    the participant is a member.
