    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Maybe not in Utah, low population density and such don't lead to high paying police jobs but CHP gets bank haha

    I think you’re wrong about the schooling.

    Police academy doesn't provide you with a degree and 2 years isn't a requirement, although I'm sure they'd like it.

    Make sense, I’d much rather be an officer here than Cali.

    Probably more common to have a degree and be on a job hunt in Cali though, so it wouldn't limit them much.

    Depends on the academy and department.

    I use to be a cadet with the local agency and they want 2 years. Also the academys here were like 8months - 1 year

    Depends on how long you've been in, and different hazard pay amendments.

    My brother has been LEO for almost 15 years. He certainly doesn't make that. He gets hazard pay when he rides the bike, etc... but it's not like that doubles his pay, lol.

    He does complain about the guys who go do a whole bunch of extra stuff right before they retire to spike their pay, then retire on a full pension, then come back as retired annuitants (RAs), and work half or 3/4 time driving a desk. So they get their spiked pension, AND an RA salary.

    My dream is being a cop. It's really hard to get into without a degree or military service. But yeah in today's day and age you can make a lot of money, city of Portland you'll be at 95k ish by your 4-5 year mark. That's not counting overtime

    I think the larger the department the harder it is. I'd take a job almost anywhere in law enforcement as a start though. Pretty sure I fall into the "good person" category too lol
