Ditto, in my area the starting salary for a police officer is $80K a year then after overtime its closer to $100K. And yes thats in the first year of employement. For that all you need is a 4 year degree or 4 years in the military. If I got a MBA, and the cop down the street with no college education was making more than me, my *** would be getting a new job.

I feel really bad for the cops in my area. Deputies make between 32k and 39k a year. Terrible.

I won't call it my dream car, but it is a milestone for me as it is the first new car I've ever bought for cash. It was a nice feeling getting the clear title for the car in the mail a few days after picking it up.

Unfortunately it took until I was 50 to accomplish the feat. The worst part of driving the Z for me is to see the disappointed look on a ladies' face when she was expecting a young hot guy to be driving and sees me instead. lol

It's called: THE COST OF LIVING INDEX

32-39k a year really isn't "terrible" in Florida / Georgia, etc BUT in states like New Jersey it is "terrible" because the COST OF LIVING is WAY higher.

Cost of living? Wow, never heard of it!

Everyone I know makes at least double what the cops make in my area. Cost of living isn't relevant in this discussion.

You apparently don't understand it and what does the salary of the people you say you know have to do with what cops make in the same area? The particular area where someone lives has a massive influence on what people are paid. So when you said you feel bad for Cops in your area based on their pay, that's what is not relevant.

What I was trying to say is, in my current county, the deputies/cops are making about as much as I did at Best Buy, less than 13-14 an hour in some cases. Regardless of where you live, you shouldn't get paid more selling DVDs and Batteries than you would as a Law Enforcement Officer.

In my home time, cops get paid well in relation to other occupations.


Now, if you believe a cop should make less than a waitress at Ihop in some cities just because its a "particular area where they live", then we'll have to agree to disagree.
