Whatever stage of your police officer career you're at, it's important to keep up on how much you can expect to be paid for the work that you do. Here's how to work out what you can expect in pay from your next police officer job:
- Research common police officer salaries in your area. Pay varies considerably between one city and another, and between city jurisdictions, county sheriffs' departments, and state patrols.
- Adjust your expectations for your time in service and what kind of police work you expect to be doing. Seniority and experience count for a lot in law enforcement careers.
- Develop a clear idea of how in-demand your skills are. Adjust your salary expectation upward if you speak a second language, have advanced law enforcement training, or you are a qualified EMT.

- Annual bonuses for performance or for exceptional service, as well as plenty of overtime and paid holidays.
