Police Pay

What's the Story

California’s police receive an average pay of $87,065 per year. This is the 6th highest in the nation, adjusted for cost of living. Can we afford these salaries given our budget problems?

What's At Stake

$394 million
We calculate this total by multiplying 16,117 police officers by an average discrepancy of $87k-$63k. This could pay for an additional 4500 police. The number of police that could be funded is simply this total potential savings divided by $87k per officer.
