Every police department is different when it comes to salaries., your best is to go on line and check with the police department you are interested in. Good luck.

Congratulations on the field you are interested in. I always tell people if you are looking to get rich in this field then find another field to work in. This job is for people who can handle all types of challenges as well as being watched what you do all the time . Most agencies have a set salary they start officers with, depending on experience. I have seen agencies start officers with as low as 30k to as high as 65k, but again it depends on that agency. Good luck to you !!
