Plus, they probably get retirement benefits and such. But, you'd have to learn a foreign language to understand the citizens. (ha)

The same police who thought a LITE BRITE looked scary?

They're overpaid.

No. There's a seperate form to report bribe pay and free donuts and those figures are then discarded in accordance with official policy.

New tasteless sig coming soon!

You know, I have no problem with this. I have a much greater problem with CEO's pay, really. And Wall Street Bankers.

Note that the "good pay" is more a result of overtime and special detail assignments.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Some of my local cops retire with $150K in accumulated sick and vacation time and are earning $100k/year before all of the OT and stipend pay they receive kick in. I tell people that public safety salaries are what drive your local municipal property tax rate more than anything else.

It's not bad for a job that requires no college degree.

That depends on where you want to work. Many places require an AA at the minimum. And advancement can depend heavily on, if not require, continuing education.

In CA, most larger departments offer incentives for successful completion of advanced training apart from advance schooling. Often these incentives are used in computing *salary* increases instead of the private sector where the base salary is the only consideration.

Yeah, easy money.

Seattle PD is at least an AA, and many have a BS decree in criminal sciences. I don't think a BS is required, but your starting pay is higher, and you increase at a faster rate.
