Is that good or bad? Seems like a whole lot of nothing.

It’s a better package than most engineering majors get fresh out of college. When you factor in overtime it’s not even close.

Yes. But after 5 years an engineer will be at 90k and more without overtime.

Don't forget a generous disability insurance plan. About 62% of police officers retire with disability pay. It's a good package, to be sure.

[Anonymous]

and they are disabled why?
why exactly?
what happens to them?

How old is too old to be a police officer? Can you start in your 50's?

I recently interviewed with Montgomery County. Not for a police officer position. They told me upfront that my previous years of experience in my field didn’t matter. Most of the interview was geared towards asking how I demonstrate diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The popo will learn nothing that would allow them to scale and retire within 10 years or make themselves valuable. Becoming disabled is the way to go.

What do you mean becoming disabled. Are you hoping to be shot?

[Anonymous]

yeah, I want to be shot. If I don't die maybe I can get disability pay.

It’s a good enough start similar to other early grads. By 5 years though everyone is speeding past you as they are making 6 figures easy. At 10 years they’re at minimum 150-200k in corporate america
