State Police Are Over Paid

Trooper Salaries 2010:
Trainee $66,905
Step 1 $71,261
Step 2 $75,612
Step 3 $78,217
Step 4 $81,305
Step 5 $84,739

Now add in the hidden money (hazardous duty pay $1200 (all cops should have this), expanded duty pay $7,400 and a few small bonuses)and the salary goes up even hire. After adding the money in a 5 year trooper makes $93,000. That does not include overtime. It is a scary fact that there are people working in the state with a masters degree and are still making less than a state trooper who only has 60 college credits and no actual degree. The salaries of 5,000 troopers cost the state $500,000,000. That does not include cars, overtime, or any operational costs.

And they spend most of their time making traffic stops rather than dealing with actual crimes. Time to cut the state police by 2/3.

The troopers have a high risk job. Do any of you
want to stop a car not knowing the driver/ passengers are drugged out of their minds and they have firearms in their car. It's not like the 1950's out there....plus we have drug people transporting drugs from the NYC burroughs to our area and beyond. Yes the wages are up there but so is the risk.

Here's an idea. Stop stoping cars.

Install camera-based speed assessment sytems like other state, and you won't have to pay these guys to ride around, wasting gas and writing tickets...it's all automated.

Good idea Captain but by stopping cars the Troopers may see illegal items activity therein maybe even a kidnapping. Take care...

Please change may to "will have the opportunity" thanks for calling it.

There way too many law enforcment officers in New York State. We're lousy with cops.

State cops, County Sheriff, City police, SUNYA police, Capitol Police.

Now, the funny thing is that Albany still has a high crime-rate.

Somebody's not doing their job, and needs to go!

Actually retard check your "hero Statistics" again! I know you non-producing career cops want everyone to think you get shot at every 22 minutes and are all superduperheroes but the statistics from the US labor department don't lie: COPS AREN'T EVEN IN THE TOP 10 MOST DANGEROUS JOBS but they sure want you to think so when it comes time to add up their greed and 30+ years of pensions we have to pay for them to sit around and pretend they GAF about anything other than making "job security" jokes and padding their pensions.

I'm sick of paying for adult children with no results to tell me how much better things are now than 20 years ago. "Law Enforcement" has become the new gutter for do-nothings and people who couldn't come up with a more socially honest way of putting food in their kids mouths. When was the last time the State Police even told the truth? Isn't NYS known for having some kind of Trooper scandal ohhh about every 2 years? No wonder LE is considered the toilet these days. Now they are "fighting crime" by going after people who sell ecigarettes. Of course when NYS TAXES all that then suddenly it will be "okay".

See how pathetic NY has gotten?

So in in other words you admit you have low standards and don't care that your state tramples and supresses you? Are you a coward? THOSE WHO GIVE UP FREEDOM FOR SAFETY DESERVE NIETHER.

Well judging by the little "flames" and "disagrees" you have a whole lot of these state bottomfeeding propaganda artists pissed off!

Watch out! They'll treat you like Bruno and send out a very special "Corrupt New York StateTrooper Detail" to spy on you and maybe even Trooper VEEDER'S REPLACEMENT in Albany will make YOU a "Special Detail" by the Statzen Polizie for CuomoFuhurer!

No I don't care if these police stops prevent drug dealers from saturating my town with drugs, so again, "No, I don't care."

Yeah, if having hundreds of troopers on the highway is such a great crime-deterrent, why isn't any crime being deterred?

If you stationed those boys on Clinton Avenue, they'd be deterring a whole lot more crime, I assure you!

Be careful! Someone will get all worked up and call you a criminal or cop hater.

Watchit! They might even think you intend to impinge upon New York State's only real growth industry these Albany Fvcktards were ever able to actually create: The "Incarceration Industry".

Yup. One time, heh heh heh poppa Cuomo bragged he'd get the population up to 70k and by golly he did! Now that the politicains and the police have created their own welfare pay/pension system who's supposed to pay for it?

Why not stop paying troopers so much when our local police and sheriffs get paid $30,000 -$50,000 a year less. Hire more of them to do the same job. I can understand that the Specialized units like forensics, bomb squad, pilots in the state police get paid more. But for a plain trooper to make 100,000 a year is insane.
