Reply to comment by froggythefish in Police need to crack down on people in Brooklyn not stopping at red lights by malefootlover1

they go to lunch and out their lights on to go threw lights. I think because the police are so poorly paid they do not care.

Poorly paid??? How is 70k poorly paid? That’s well more than average, and all they need to do is grope people for looking suspicious. Or respond to a welfare check, take some notes, and go back to cruising around town. Or beat up and fine some poor dude for hopping a subway turn style.

NYPD cops start at below 50k. SF cops start at just below 100k. Yes, NYPD are paid shit and we’re getting what we pay for.

Wow their unions suck. The department gets plenty of money, they should be arguing for more of that to go to cops’ homes instead of to their paramilitary armaments and robot dogs. I know they’re unionized…

I dont know what the starting salaries are for cops in 22-23 wasn't there a story about cops going to FL because Florida paid them better and gave bonuses and treated them better. So if they made 70k they would be well off and at least better off. It would depend on how much FL would pay them to relocate?

NYPD DOES NOT MAKE 70K unless they have been there for years. It is the rookie cops and cops 5 years on job they are still low pay.

The cops making the big bucks are inside the station or detective in unmarked cars and on special assignments.

I remember back in 11 a cop was at a deli who was broke and could not afford the cup of coffee. Someone gave him a buck. He was 2 years on the job he said and he made 29k sad!!!!

Are you a cop?

If you look at the starting salaries it shows it so low? Maybe cops got a raise over the years?

Salaries are posted online because it's a public job, on top of that you can see cops making up to 2-300k per year with overtime

Those are executives and not representative of rank and file. There’s maybe less than 1000 cops making that income, and that’s only because they’re 6/7 tiers of supervision up. Your average street cop is looking at maybe 130 if he’s getting a shitton of overtime and

No, I’m a teacher, and like cops, our salaries are posted online because we are public servants. That dude lied to you.

While you are correct that cops did make 25k a year starting (just over the poverty line as per their contract so they couldn’t qualify for government aid) those same cops had their contract raised to 45k starting and 85k topped out. That being said, look at the neighboring counties, cops making 100 110 120 even 150 a year before overtime doing half the workload NYPD has. They make a “lot” compared to low income jobs but they’re the low income job next to their peers.
