Reply to comment by Speedyx in Feds Investigating Drug-Planting Allegations Involving NYPD Officers by Menacing_Quokka

Cops get a double salary pay bump in just 5 years and easily make 6 figures not long after that (earlier if they choose to milk OT). They are paid better and have better benefits than almost any other city worker. We pay them well and still scrape the bottom of the barrel and refuse to raise our standards or hold them accountable. The Old Boys Club of the NYPD is why they are the way they are, not pay.

And they make far less than the police officers in the surrounding counties.

If that's true, those cops in surrounding counties are overpaid and their local governments should do some serious investigation.
