Not that it will do any good but our FOP group is wants to gather some stats from other depts about pay, officers, city size, etc, to our city council and mayor to show that we are below average in staffing and pay for a city of our size (we think we are anyway). If you don't mind could you answer a few questions for me. And just to be fair I'll throw my answers in after.
1) City size?
2) Officers on dept?
3) Officers in patrol division?
4) Starting pay for officers?
5) Pay for officers after five years?
And my answers are:
1) 45,000 - 55,000 somewhere with another 100,000 at least in close proximity.
2) 87 if you count the two currently called up to active duty for Osama hunt.
3) 35 - 40 officers in patrol if you count the rookies in the academy
4) $13.42 an hour
5) Between 17.00 and 18.00 an hour depending on what stage of state certification your at.
