It varies on localities but cops can make a shit ton especially in cities.
Seattle will hire you with only a high school diploma starting at over $100k/yr with a $7500 hiring bonus and are still understaffed and keep lowering the requirements to become a cop
They also have eligibility for tons of overtime and can make over 200-300k/yr after just a few years on the force
Yet still they have an abysmal police department
Which is why acab stands for all cops are bastards
I always wondered if the overtime is part of the problem. A lot of it is pretty sketchy, so it’s training cops to be sketchy
In my state, police unions have been pretty aggressive about requiring construction sites to pay for police details. I have no idea whether it has the safety benefits they claim but
city is happy because someone else is paying their cops
cops are happy with opportunity to make bank
But we all pay a little more, cops have a conflict of interest acting as an authority figure for a private company, and the requirements are sketchy on both sides for something other than what they were hired for
From what I have heard their overtime numbers are largely bullshit and used as a way to inflate their income and it’s considered an “acceptable practice”
But even with all of that we still can’t find good police…
