After a year on the job, it's $63,287 base for someone without a college degree, et cetera, and up to $71,627 with incentives for degree and other qualifications.

Those base salaries don't include any departmental overtime for late assignments, court appearances, etc.

If they "have to" work a second job, the problem is spending not income.

I would have to move to a big city to ever see that salary. Once I get a few years experience I plan on applying with the bigger departments. Most LEOs around here live off the side jobs.

Is Denton considered a big city? they're starting out at $51,837 and upon completion of training move up to $53,141.
