Answer 1

Really depends on where you live, you'll have to check with local agencies to find out.  It's usually on their website.

In my area (Boise, Idaho) cops start at about $42,000 a year.  Last Vegas cops start at about $51,000 per year.  In San Francisco cops can make anywhere from $75,868 to $101,556 per year.

Answer 2

Most police agencies pay is consistent with the areas cost of living.

You will traditionally find that most urbanized departments pay more than rural.  It usually cost more to live there and they have a better tax base to pay employees.

If you look at the west coast - you will find salaries very high and the cost of living also very high.

Most urban departments start over 50,000 but some west coast start near 100,000 p/yr

Rural agencies - like in Florida may start as low as 37,000.  

The east coast traditionally pays well.
