My agency is starting 21 year old recruits at $75K just to go to the academy. 5-year top-out without rank is 6-figures
This is a lot higher than I thought. Doesn’t the academy take around a year all in til they’re ready to work solo?
I thought police officers were more in the 50-60 range. Seems like people would do it if it were 75 to go to the academy and 6 figures with 5 years experience.

In Texas the academy is up to something like 5 months for the BPOA. Larger agencies that run their own in-house academies will be longer because they cover department-specific policies and procedures. Then field training is another 5 months.
