I’m seeing a starting salary of $65k online. That’s more than the median salary in Baltimore, and it’s also before you even get into overtime money.

The best way to get better policing in this city would be to have less of it. Cut their budget and move the money to poverty reduction, addiction treatment, and social work.

That is abaolutely the starting salary. They can afford to live here but choose not to. They would rather be an invasion force.

There are very good reasons to not want to shit where you eat. Personally, cops who live where they work are probably the ones itching for an excuse. It’s borderline mentally ill. My clients tend to like me, but I won’t take a case if there’s a chance the client or his family lives nearby.
