I'm an experienced police officer, what would my starting wage be?

The Chief makes the final determination on what wage new hires come in at. Below are some steps in our wage scale to give you an idea of where you may come in:

Step 1 (Recruit Officer) - $38.00

Step 5 - $41.14

Step 10 - $45.42

Step 15 - $50.15

Step 20 (Top Step) - $55.36

For laterals, the step on the scale that you come in at is around the amount of full-time years of experience in law enforcement you have. There is also an additional 5% for working swing shift hours and 10% for working mid shift. Overtime is paid at time and a half.
