i don't know if this will help but it does state long island, and by reading it, probably is not limited to only NCPD, taxes in hempstead are equivalently high as to the rest of the other towns but i'm sure their making the same if not better being that they deal with gang activity as does suffolk county.

jeez I'm happy for a fellow cop, but all biases aside, LI cops make way too much

There's a line in today's newsday article, or at least the rough cut i read last night, where the commissioner says that police pay on long island will have to go down, just not yet. I'm all for cops making decent or even great money, but when my parents get their tax bill it's um, pretty grande. I for one cannot see myself being able to afford living in the town I live in with a decent sized family. But that's just New York (outside of NYC).

Give me a break. Explain to me why Long Island, the size of Fairfax county, VA (next to Washington DC), needs 126 school districts, while Fairfax does well with three. The teacher unions are the bloodsuckers of taxes, not the police.

You don't want your taxes to go up every year? Vote no on the school budget. BUT WAIT - if you do, the schools are forced, by the unions, to cut BUSSES, and not skyrocketing administrator/teacher salaries. So even if the budget is voted down, everyone still gets screwed. The whole system on Long Island is garbage. While police pay is high, the budget pales against the bloated island school systems.

I agree and I do vote no, but unfortunately where I live, my vote is a needle in a haystack of yes votes.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WRONG..... But I will chalk that up to you being a kid.... When you grow up and own your own property you will see that the tax bill is itemized...... Scan down until you see the line that says police tax..... You will see that it is between $500 and $1000...... Mommy and Daddy might be paying 8000 to 30000 in property tax but it is NOT going to the police..... Maybe when you come home from school today you can ask your mom to see the tax bill as she is unpacking your spiderman lunch box...
Check your facts before you post on here again..... The last thing this board needs is someone who spews false statements as truth..... This region's "Collective Conscious" accepts as undisputable truth the premise that since police make to much money, that is why my taxes and too high........ THE PREMISE IS COMPLETLY FALSE..........

I normally don't like to confront people based on these boards and the answers given but a mature well thought out retort like that makes me question why we need to pay certain immature officers that much. I respect that your job is professional and highly risky but the lack of understanding or curtousy is something that I loath. I think their is no need for a answer that includes to make fun of someone for lack of understanding or nievity.

You're not acting like an adult, so why should he? Look up at the previous responses to his post, like mine, before you make yourself sound like a jackass.

I like when everyone gets along. As I write this post from the see-saw in my backyard and prepare to get my PB&J from my BATMAN lunchbox, I can't help but think everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Oh, excuse me, my mom's calling, bath time!

I suppose a Pro is good pay, and a Con is working in one dump of a town.
