Do cops get a lot of money? I wasn't under the impression it's a particularly well paid job, it's not in the UK at least.

I think they're comparatively well paid for people with no skills or qualifications who sit down most of the day.

They get a shit load of benefits and special benefits just for them in many cases.

Cops in America make a lot of money in a lot of places, especially considering the "qualifications" for the job.

In the US you can abuse the shit out of overtime.

It's why you see 12 cops at a traffic stop, if a call goes out in their neighborhood they can trundle over in their plain clothes and shoot the shit and bill 2 hours of overtime.
