112k seems pretty high for entry level work, considering they most likely don't have a college education, but maybe it makes it possible for them to live here
These men and women are signing up to protect us, at great personal physical (not to mention psychological) risk. They should absolutely earn a living wage that enables them to live in the community in which they serve.
I think they should be paid the market rate, just like everyone else.
I think the only way we could to tell if this is too much or too little is if we had a free market for protection services. Since we don't, we can only speculate. Maybe, it's actually not enough. I can't object anyone receiving a high salary, but if this salary is paid out of my own pocket with no consent of mine and with the police force regularly abusing their powers, then yes, I believe this is not just too much -…

So do members of the military and they get paid half as much.
Looks to be a supply issue for new police officers. I hope the government will create a new foreign worker visa to allow talented foreign peace keepers and law men fast tracked entry in to the US to ensure the safety and prosperity of our citizens and future generations.
This is very similar to the issue with CEO compensation - high pay at competitors just encourages even higher pay with little to contain it. I wonder if they use the same consultants to justify ever increasing pay and benefits.

It's not just the salary that is high - the pension benefit (as is typical for California) is astonishing: Up to 90% of salary at the very early retirement age of 58. These kind of pensions schemes are the reason many states (especially California) are experiencing budgetary crises.
(2) These particular salaries (SF police department) are financed out of local revenues and have nothing to do with the state budget anyway.
(3) The cost of living in SF is sky high as we all know, good for them for paying appropriately if they want to get the best people.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

What is the market rate for police officers? Where is the police officer market?
