“With the new contract, the starting salary of an SPVM cop will almost double between 2022 and 2026 to top $100,000 – with 15 weeks of training at Nicolet. That’s triple the salary of many community workers.”

I guess all that budget money they took from public transit has to go somewhere, why not into the pockets of some 20 year old wet-behind-the-ears from Police Academy junior cops that live off-island anyhow? It’s not like THEY take the city bus.

For those that think “the salary is justified due to the danger associated”; statistics show that while being a police officer does has a level of risk associated to it, that risk is attributed to <>. Being a cop is as dangerous as driving a taxi, or delivering pizza. As for work place fatalities, it’s more dangerous to be a truck driver than a cop. It’s 250% more dangerous to be a roofer than a cop.
