Yes, it’s a crap job, but the starting pay is $103,116 and nearly all S.F. cops make a lot more than that due to overtime. Not a heck of a lot of jobs a 20 year-old can walk into and make that kind of scratch.
What they will get is the bottom of the barrel types....guys with a history of disciplinary issues. If you were doing a good job, and happy in Texas...I don’t see guys packing for SF or LA.
That’s not really a lot of money to live in SF bay area.
HOUSING is NOT affordable.
Safety isn’t present.
City support for LEO’s doesn’t exist.
LYON COUNTY, N Nevada would love to have trained officers-—and it isn’t that expensive to live here. WE LIKE OUR DEPUTIES.
And the other perk is that they wouldn’t have to work too hard at enforcing laws.
Considering the cost of living in that area, they’ll be living on skid row.
The cost of living in this state is increasing daily.
Yea, but what they don’t tell you is your $3000/mo apartment is in a crappy part of town where you especially don’t want to be an off-duty cop. Gotta shell out 50% of that salary for a one-bedroom in a decent area. And don’t forget CA income tax is what, 10% or so? And aren’t they one of the higher sales-tax States?
