Most folks who go to private schools don't end up a beat cops...
So tell me why most cops are coming from non Boston public schools
I have no idea, and it's really not at all important to the discussion (well, unless you just want something to whine about).
The annual salary for a Boston cop typically falls between $59,347 and $69,234.
In Detroit it falls between falls between $53,874 and $62,849. In Houston it's $53,895 and $62,874. In Orlando it's a comparatively meager $50,020 and $58,353. Dayton Ohio is between $51,113 and $59,629. Atlanta is $52,011 to $60,676.
Jacksonville, Florida, which is the largest city by area in the continental United States, has a dismal pay range between $49,625 and $57,893.
So, yeah, I dunno'. Maybe Boston cops become Boston cops because the money's better...
