All things being equal, most sane people would choose to work for LSP rather than NOPD. My point is that the differential between the two agencies starting pay isn't what it used to be. Twenty years ago ago, a State Trooper started at about $10,000 or $12,000 more than a NOPD recruit. Not so much any more...

NOPD officers supplement their base pay with OT and "detail" work, just like LSP Troopers work highway construction sites.

Who's got a 40% base pay raise coming to them? I've got a State Trooper friend with three kids who'll be thrilled to have some extra tuition money!

I know 2 NOPD officers/detectives who were SWAT and specialty divers who just jumped the force to JP and State. The new detail BS was the last straw
