Police salaries should be increased to an annual starting amount of six figures. Why would we do that? Obviously that will give the community the best and the brightest personnel to enforce our laws. Defunding idea is just stupid.
Still wouldn’t take the job for six figures in today’s climate. And if I was one, I would be pushing for a massive strike until people stopped blaming all of them for the actions of a few.
The dem plan is to get rid of all the highly paid officers (salary, OT, benefits) and replace the with lower paid people. (think the people you find at the DMV),’
I used to work for a company in chicago that would hire a lot of vets out of Iraq and Afghanistan, these guys also applied for chicago police department.
I think we hired about 7 or 8 guys, and just about all of them got offers later from the CPD, all but one of them turned it down.
They made 60,000 base without overtime starting at our job, I think it was similar with CPD, maybe faster progression as a cop, I dunno.
You know I was thinking of that other day. To attract better talent. Not only are you law enforcer but social worker, lawyer and finally a head basher when needed.
