| Posted over 2 years ago I work security at the local hospital. I get paid 14.35 an hour and 15% more on weekends and time and a half for working holidays. Supposedly the State of Georgia is going to raise our pay by 7k a year since they found that 54% of our officers are leaving for other agencies because they get paid more. But, of course, they don't know when that will go into effect. |

| Posted over 2 years ago As a School Resource Officer, I have ample opportunity to work off duty details at the school (Football, dances, other events) but for some satisfaction and more money than my overtime or off-duty rate, I teach driver's education for 2 1/2 hours a day four days a week. Equals to over $300.00 a week and it adds to my state retirement. I wish I did not have to do it all the time, but good money is hard to turn down. It also makes for some positive interaction with my students and makes my job easier as a whole. What is your major malfunction , numb nuts... |

| Posted over 2 years ago dieselcop said: Diesal what are meaning here bro? Some of us have done both. Are you meaning get a degree in something non LE specific? If so, that would be a post for me to put under the "If you weren't in LE what would you be doing?" Sports Medicine and working for a pro sports team. |

| Posted over 2 years ago TBH, I'm doing fine at $32 an hour on regular time. That's after being a State Trooper for 10 years and I still haven't gone up in rank - I like working with the public rather than making rank and getting stuck in the barracks. I'd rather be a RoadDog. But I'm surprised that there are so many LEO's that need to take additional work in order to make things work. I mean I realize that there are so many Departments and Agencies that just don't pay well, I just don't understand why. We all pretty much do the same job and put our lives on the line each and every day. |

| Posted over 2 years ago Being a single parant also limits the secondary jobs as well, other wise the pay just goes to pay the babysitter. |

| Posted over 2 years ago If anybody has a ear to the White House, how about doing away with all income tax to LEO's. That would give everybody in small or large departments across the nation a nice boost......Opinions ? |

Which also includes the fact the World Equestian Games in 2010 are going to be 12 miles down the road. I just hope we dont burn down. Oh wait they did hire 20 new firemen and bought 2 new trucks...MMMMMMM |

| Posted over 2 years ago DetSgtDarryl said: The answer to this question is LEO's shouldn't have to work second jobs. But the legislature or "powers that be" in whatever area, while wanting to be tough on crime, don't want to hand over the money to pay their LEOs to keep them safe. No law enforcement makes enough to compensate for the job they do!! |
