That information is so bogus! When stating officer salary they always include the value of health insurance, retirement pay accrued, not having to pay fines/court/insurance costs associated with 10 high speed tickets per week, and similar other benefits. The actual officer pay is less than waiter/waitress minimum wage and then taxes are taken out of that.
