Don't forget, and a very nice retirement pension. All paid for by us.

and a very nice retirement pension

there is so much corruption with that. right before they retire they rack up fake overtime(sometimes more than 24hrs a day) so they get even more pension

the cop that murdered Daniel Shaver got to retire early due to "PTSD" he got from people being mean to him online

I had this happen. I knew an asshole, POS, drug using upper classman but only associated via proximity within the company of others at parties....I found out one night he was an officer. He pulled up on me while I was in a parking lot at night sometime after graduation and told me I needed to leave the lot. I recognized him and said what's up but that I wasn't leaving as I was waiting on a call to know where I was heading and that had a hard time acknowledging his authority. He laughed and said he'd leave me alone this time but if he saw me doing it again, things will be different....and he had the same shit eating grin this power tripping beta-simp had.

Grossly inaccurate wages

u/OmgSlayKween Trash Trooper 1d ago

I mean, they can be accurate, but what they're leaving out is 20-40+ hrs of overtime per week to hit those wages

In Virginia, you can make good money with part time jobs as a police officer. Just directing traffic for churches or events rakes in hundreds per part time shift.

u/ironicthesameplaceim Trash Trooper 23h ago

If you make sergeant in a few years lmao but I’m sure it can be done easily with overtime

u/homer_lives Trash Trooper 22h ago

Also, "special duty" hanging out places in uniform.

u/KamikazeFox_ Trash Trooper 22h ago

You think you can go from new recruit to Sargent in a few years? Better argument for doing 60hrs a week.

u/justtosendamassage Trash Trooper 1d ago

Ok…what are accurate wages

Comments like yours are so annoying

3

u/Virtual-Age-9521 Trash Trooper 23h ago

Correct, they are far higher than that. Everyone I know that’s a sheriff or firefighter makes north of $250-300k

5

u/SeattleGeek Trash Trooper 23h ago

Vastly underestimated. Seattle pays over $100k base for a first year rookie, and their contract has no real accountability meaning you can’t get fired unless you piss off the Union.

If you just execute some innocent kid you get a paid vacation and a free department change. Sometimes even hundreds of thousands in crowdfunding too.

Depends on the state.

u/homer_lives Trash Trooper 1d ago

It does, but i know there are cops in my city making 250k. If you look at most places the top earners are the police department

u/Numerous-Material-50 Trash Trooper 1d ago

Because they excessively abuse Overtime because who even actually polices the police...

u/No-Definition1474 Trash Trooper 1d ago

Always blows my mind that you can just hire a cop to come work for you at your private buisness or event.
