Don't worry so much about the $$$. Try getting the job first. Money should not be the reason why you choose law enforcement. The job is satisfying enough.

That is true, if you want to make alot of money, police work is probably not the field for you.. I am actually giving up a job making way over $125K/year just to be an officer.. Maybe I am crazy..LOL

That site is helpful though..

Funny you say that, my BI asked if I was dedicated to the job. She told him that I had put myself through the academy giving up about 20k in OT pay that year and my pay will go from 38/hr + bonuses & OT & triple time holiday pay to 18/hr. I was asked if I had any mental problems during my poly. I said that taking over a 50% pay cut to move half way across the country and have the chance of getting shot at might qualify, LOL!!

Better to do a job you love & can survive on than to whore yourself for something less.

absolutely... I could go back to making upwards of 50 or 60 starting, but be confined to a cubicle and staring at a computer screen all day...

no thanks,...

I actually quite like my current job but alas, I have no passion for it, never did.
