What salaries do cops get in different states of the USA

America is redefining to a large extent how it finances its police. Last weekend, the Minneapolis City Council voted to liquidate the existing police department in order to invest in a new model of public safety and emergency response. Many large cities are in the process of cutting police budgets and redirecting resources to other services, writes GoBankingRates.

All of these questions have brought new attention to police budgets — including where and how money is spent, and what kind of return it may or may not provide to the community. As a result, police salaries have also come under something of a microscope.

A closer look at police pay in major American cities suggests that overblown police budgets are hardly caused by excessive salaries. In fact, only a few large metropolitan police departments in the city offer an average salary that is higher than the national average, indicating that while police departments can receive too much money, ordinary employees probably do not.
