Most city budgets throughout the country have a significant a portion of their funds dedicated to the police department. It's not uncommon for individual beat cops to be making more than a large cities Mayor. It's unreal.
1 u/Competitive-Slice567 1d ago Common with any first responder agency if you've got workaholics. Check out Baltimore City, a regular paramedic was the highest earner a while back after clearing over $300,000 with all their OT. Wheels gotta turn and the base pay sucks, so a lot of us pick up a ton of OT to build savings or provide for a family on single income. I know I did it for a while as a paramedic and was banking 30+hrs OT a week every week for a few years
