re: BRPD has a great retirement benefit.

I don't have a single issue with this. If the man wants to put in the time to mal his retirement then so be it.

I asked my cousin and there retirement is like 81% of the 3 highest years so if an officer only made $75,000 as the highest 3 and worked zero overtime, the retirement monthly check would just slightly over $5k a month gross. After taxes and insurance, that officer would only get like $4,000 a month to have to make it on.

If an officer gets hired at 25 and then retires at 55, who the heck wants to HAVE to work for a second retirement starting at 55. That's BS after putting in 30 years somewhere

I don't blame any officer for make what money they can. It's smart
