I was in an application process with a department here in my state. Made it through the written exam, interview, physical ability tests, polygraph, background investigation, and then i got an e-mail today saying that I was not selected to proceed on. ****ty thing is they cut down the class size from 120 to 75. I was in the final 200 when I was cut. Still not too bad for starting out with 6,000 applicants. Well, guess i will just have to apply again.

i dunno about where the op is applying but here in the tennakee during training you get base salary which is a little over 32,000 a year (i think) not much but not bad since cost of living is so low around here

36,000 while in the academy. 38,000 while on probation, 40,000 when you are a trooper.

Something i have never understood is why teachers and cops are so underpaid.

Like howard said you can make upwards of 65k+ at local gas stations when the people teaching our children and the ones protecting us get half that?

the town next to my town starts cops out at 75k, after 4 years they make 100k, after 10 years there at 150k. The chief of police makes 300k.

go figure, right?

Yea matters where you get a job. I've heard about 50 starting down where I live then a pay raise to 75 after a few years.

here in jersey cops work four 12 hr shifts a week "on patrol". if they want they can work events and other stuff other times during the week, and that is where they really bring in the $$. its not uncommon for cops around here to bring in 6 figures.
