[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want officers who are there because they couldn't get a job elsewhere. Law enforcement, much like teaching, is a calling, not a backup plan. [/quote]

Neither of those professions are callings.  They are jobs.  Hopefully people put effort into and care about those jobs, but people do them to make money.  [/quote]

Disagree. I’m a teacher married to a LEO. We are both absolutely in our positions because of callings. I could be making 3x what I make as a teacher and for less stress, but I choose to remain in the classroom because I know the work is valuable. And he has wanted to be a police officer since he was a child.

Now regarding pay: my DH makes over twice what I make in base pay alone, and that’s before any overtime. He also gets a LOT more leave than I do, so he’s always the one to stay home if kids are sick. We started the same year. [/quote]

I’m truly sorry you don’t make more money! Teachers are woefully underpaid. I’d vote for salary increases and overtime pay if it ever made it to a ballot.

Law enforcement definitely has a lot of perks that most people don’t consider. I always have my law enforcement buddies buy me new sunglasses because they get such large discounts from major brands.[/quote]
