[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 807971, member: 9500"] Oakland entry level police officer salaries range from $71,841 to $90,549 so the $165k (which I cannot find anything to substantiate) doesn't sound all that out of line if the officer has attained a high rank as you stated. [url]http://www.opdjobs.com/salaries-and-benefits.asp[/url] In my area, entry level officers make half that much so they supplement their pay with "off duty" jobs, which are managed by the department and pay $50/hr. Personally, I would rather my police officers be well rested during their off-duty hours so that they may better respond to emergencies than being paid to babysit a nightclub. Perhaps Oakland limits or prohibits such "off duty" work or the salaries are in line with the higher cost-of-living in California. California is a particularly bad example to blame Public Sector Unions especially with the recent exposure of city leaders such as those in Bell,CA voting themselves obscene salaries. Perhaps if there is cutting to be done, it should start at the top (same as in the private sector). [/QUOTE]
