There were cops scamming the overtime system in Florida making 300 grand a year.

Top paid Seattle cop made over $400k a couple years ago. How tf are they still hourly? Teachers arenā€™t hourly, doctors arenā€™t hourly.

Wasn't there a cop recently that got caught being clocked in to 2 jobs at once? Here it is.

Base salary, no. With overtime and various extra and special pay (shift differentials, K9 handler, supervisor, etc) the pay can easily double the base salary.

Oh, yeah. That sure as shit work the system, so they make so damn much more than they should be able to. My good friend told me about that, just a few months back. Blew my mind, but didnā€™t surprise me.

In an interview with a county sheriff's department, I was told not to look at the base salary because overtime alone was going to cover my basic living expenses. Then you'd build up so much PTO that you could cash out once a year for a healthy unofficial "bonus".

I think they call it "asset forfeiture"

u/ifsavage May 24 '23

Hahahhah. Yeah. Thereā€™s a couple videos floating around reddit where they are stealing people stuff in raids and evictions.

Cops are fucking gangbangers.

With overtime, often Yes. And then a fat pension with 50

Officers in my town in Southern California easily make that much with overtime and stuff. City canā€™t fix a pothole though.

No. There'd be much better cops if it did.
