[quote=Anonymous]If you have a high school senior or above you may want to speak with them about expected compensation, but most people don’t go into policing for the money. Below are the DMV starting salaries for several departments that I took from the Jobs forum. Keep in mind that most of year one will be in the academy and on the streets with a Field Training Officer riding along with them. That could mean they’re only operating freely in the community for 3-4 months, which would limit the potential for overtime. Once they’re able to earn a full year of overtime it should lead to higher annual compensation.
