Again with this organization in the news:

Guy makes $118k?  Really?  Edison must be the worst place to be a taxpayer in the state.

Median salary for police in NJ is $90k. Why is $118k a surprise to you? It seems about normal.

 

By the way, in before the lock...

How is this titled fun...he firebombed a fellow officers house. What a traitorous scumbag. He could have killed the whole family. Fun...what a joke

Immediately suspended with pay. I love that. That's a real punishment.

 

Attempted murder = you still get paid?

Coward could use the extra money for a 10 year supply of vaseline while he's in prison.

I want to think that the OP went for sarcasm

Not very funny.. very traumatizing

I'm not bashing cops.  I'm pasting a story that repeats itself over and over if you frequent the Star Ledger.  Edison PD has had major issues for 20 years now.  Political scandals, corruption scandals, and now firebombing scandals.

 

118k is not deserved (not to mention the overtime and benefits not reported).  Sorry if it offends you, but you aren't worth that cost.

Go talk to your town council, tell them to reduce the salary. See how quickly you get laughed out the room.

Then you go do their job and do it well. It is not an easy job. The stress alone is bad enough.

There's the matter of the prevailing wage. If Edison wants to pay seniore cops $50k and other departments are paying $90k, guess where they'll go?

lol

I don't live in Edison, so it is their problem.

 

The point is that if I firebombed my boss's house, I likely would not retain my salary.  But in Edison, anything goes.

Thats not the only job with stress and they were not forced into becoming a police officer, THEY chose that profession!

We're really going to rehash this?  How many times is enough?

 

Short leash in effect.
