Strong police union coupled with police worship.

Be the difference you want to see.

Get a dash cam fam.

Go in the morning or before school's out and there won't be much kids.

Are pensions included under additional/extra pay or something? There's a ton of officers who have 0 salary but large additional/extra pay

I’m a teacher, I don’t even think I would have made a good cop. If I would have know what I could make I could have sucked it up, hell I would be looking at retirement in 10 years. I’m sure one or two of these people aren’t the best at coping either.

I’m guessing you didn’t get their plate? Cause that’s leaving the scene of an accident

AVERAGE 123k. Disgusting, these are supposed to be public servants.

(that [building expansion] isn't possible from one salary, even including benefits)

I didn’t need to be so pissed off today

This. I remember seeing my elementary school go through a dramatic overhaul (new jungle gym, expanding the building twice, etc) in the span of 2-3 years because they dropped an administrator.

I don't get why these developers didn't try to get someone to lobby an exception to the Bergen Blue Law for them, just one of the myriad of reasons they're losing money. No it would not have fixed all their problems but the loss in profit for all those stores must be insane considering how busy it is on Fridays and Saturdays

Outrageous labor costs and pensions are why shit is so unaffordable but sure random basement communist

Are you in Sussex County? I know they have some smaller towns like that.

It's really pretty simple. It's all on the nj civil service website. They don't make it hard. It's literally designed so any one, any one, can become a cop.

State trooper salaries might even be higher

Understand that Rt 1 is a very busy rd and can be choked with traffic even off rush hour. Rt 206 north of Princeton is usually busy but often it’s only around rush hours gets slowed down b/c if traffic. Princeton is a cool place to live (I lived in West Windsor right by N.E. Corridor train lines) but that area is pricey. There are neighborhoods in Princeton that are more Hispanic that cater to people working for the wealthy in Princeton and these >may< be less expensive. This area is predominantly to the west of Witherspoon rd going north out of town. If you don’t need to live in town, check out areas north of town up to Hillsboro or go West towards Hopewell or Pennington. Good luck finding your new digs!

Edit to add: you should go have Bent Spoon Ice cream at least once when you’re there.

All 100k+ a year salary and they wanna say they arent getting paid enough? 100k and you wanna have an ego and act like a power hungry racist? Thats crazy.

Pays to be a tyrant I see

Can we see other states?

Mine does not do this anymore. If it is a deal breaker then consider hiring another vet.
