The States: Where We Wish Texas Would Secede Already

It likely isn’t taking into account overtime since it’s based on salary. I have no idea if the median police officer in Georgia would be pulling in 15k a year in OT to match the teacher salary, but it would at least lessen the gap and likely move them into the “teachers make slightly more” category.

It's almost certainly true, but you guys missed a basic fact. The pay figures are official, public pay. A cop in Alabama might officially make $25,000, but that doesn't count the unofficial money.

This.

A little more on the up-and-up reasoning though... In some southern rural areas, local cops may be part time employees, which would lead to wage discrepancy. I know back home in Michigan, at one point the police chief of my hometown was limited to 28hrs a week. The rest of his 40 was some other city council position. And the two deputies beneath him were 20hrs max.

Reasoning? The county sheriff (20 miles away) and State Police (within the city limits) can do the bulk of the policing.
 
Just an FYI. Calumet, MI had a bad fire last night in the historic downtown area. 30+ people are out of homes.

If you want to help, please do.
