What are the starting salaries of a New York city policeman?

Question

There are people here in Hernando county Florida that claim the Firemen and police here make more pay than the firemen and police from New York city and surrounding counties.

Answer 1

I was told 27,000 during training, and 32,700 after training. Not much when you think of the cost of living in NYC. Oh and yes police officers in NYC are paid tremendously lower than some other states.

Answer 2

27,000 during training, and 32,700 after training. NYC is a place with Getto all over and these cops come from places such as Long Island and surrounding counties where they could not get a job as a cop. Now they complain and most of them can not work as a cop anywhere else because they are the misfits want to be's who find their dream come true in NYC. Also the place has so many cops, none of them can get paid that much unless they reduce the force.
