Poor pay?
Connecticut State cops are making 6-figures with a take home car, insane vacation and health benefits and can earn comp time to take even more paid time off. And 20year retirements with a pension and lifetime health benefits. Folks retiring when they’re in their mid-40s and then moving south to be cops down there.
Yeah there are cops that are underpaid in this country. Usually in small rural towns in the south and Midwest.
But the Northeast and Connecticut isn’t one of those areas.
Don’t forget, these are the cops that allowed a mob of protesters to destroy some woman’s car while they sat idly by.
