According to attachment E-4 the average officer salary is $106,590. Total comp including benefits is $169,316.
If you are gainfully employed with benefits, I'm sure your benefits are in the neighborhood of $30-40k.

LOL...no one in the real world gets $40K in benefits-that only happens in the fantasyland of gov workfare.
Oh, and BTW- the benefits for a GED cop or firewhiner are equal to their base pay, not that paltry 50% of base pay your sorry lying as-s listed.

Better prepay the rent on your doublewide GED boy-you're going to need it.

The only one lying here is you. The chart clearly states what benefits are compared to base pay. Benefits clearly aren't anywhere equal to base pay. I understand why you have trouble counting that high though, not enough fingers to do the math and all.

Wow, that GED is showing clearly here.
If the "chart" said the earth was flat would that make it true Dumbo?
The fact is GED cop benefits are worth MORE than base pay because the pensions are currently being underfunded.

I would suggest that you "get a clue" to use your terminology, and spend and evening riding along with the Vallejo PD. You may feel you understand their job, and that since you pay taxes that pay their salaries, they are your employees. So, why not check in and make sure they're doing the job you want them to do? Ride along... its an education. I think you'll find you realy know very little about police work, and will come away with a whole new appreciation for what they do. I did.

I did a ride along with VPD (as well as Richmond PD, Solano SO, Oakland, Pinole and Fairfield)while I was in the police academy, before going on to work for a local Sheriff's Department as a Deputy Sheriff/Coroner, so I am quite familiar with how taxing it can be working as a patrol officer. Before receiving a job ending (on the job) injury I took many citizens and prospective officers on ride alongs and believe me, the activity and behavior of officers on ride alongs is totally different than the activities of officers while unattended. I understand the job, which is why I feel qualified to comment on it. I am by no means indicating that it is an easy job, because it is not easy to participate in and referee sorrow, pain, tragedy and loss all day long, and it comes at a great emotional cost to the officers on the street, but the reality is that there are also a great deal of racist behaviors and laziness associated with police officers in general. It was a shocking reality check to witness racial profiling being taught on the job, learning how to harass people "legally", the real use of the vehicle code for perpetrating unwarranted car stops, etc. I am not indicating that I think that the officers are overpaid, because it is difficult to determine what risking your life is worth, nor would I suggest that firefighters are overpaid either. My main and central issue was that at least several VPD officers are visibly not doing their jobs, and that is unacceptable.

Huh interesting. So you went out on a medical retirement? Wow, how long and what Sheriff's department did you work for? I don't think you are qualified to give any opinion. It is obvious that you know nothing of Police work in Vallejo. How long were you on patrol and did you work any specialized assignments. It sounds like you are just another (p)ussy who could not handle Police work so you went out on some (b)ullshit injury because you could not take it anymore. Because you did one ride along with Vallejo PD does not make you an expert. Now go back to Solano college and finish up your private investigator classes (i)diot.

Vallejo, we can do this. We have to stick it to the the people running the city, and the people running around the city. Call the cops. Make them tow vehicles and enforce codes. Be their eyes if they are not able to patrol. You want a better town, make it happen.
