November 14, 201510 yr I've heard of a lot of departments around the state starting out at $12-13 an hour and under.
November 14, 201510 yr I realize than salaries are a big issue but on another note, I see recruitment of police officers getting harder to do in the future, particularly in the big cities. And I can't say I blame young men and women for gravitating toward other careers. The way law enforcement is being treated and hounded in the media and social media sites, and everyone with a camera phone filming their ever move, sometimes actually setting up confrontations and aggravating the situations to get a "gotcha" moment. I don't blame people for going another job route than law enforcement.
November 16, 201510 yr Two jobs you couldn't pay me enough money to do. 1. Coal miner 2. Police officer
November 16, 201510 yr Big city departments are always raiding smaller cities in the Midwest looking for veteran officers in search of more $. Not sure if going to Houston, New Orleans, Miami or NYC is worth any amount of money.
November 16, 201510 yr Author How do NKY departments compare to the rest of the state? Although I can't be certain for the most part much higher paid. Especially the larger agencies.
