Just a few FYI's -- different bargaining units have different amounts of sick days per year, and they're 8 hour days, and 99% of the Police department [At least Nassau County] is 10 or 12 hour days. They burn up quicker that way.

If you pay Cops 50k a year they wouldn't be able to live in Great Neck or Garden City. Don't you want your officers to be able to live in the area they work????

Sorry, but I've never had a union job, but what's the difference between an 8 hour or 12 hour sick day?

Go old school, each hamlet and village gets a sheriff and a deputy.
Solid plan. What could go wrong?

But in the real world a job/career has a salary and you live where your means allow. If enough candidates are unwilling to work at the offered price then that price will rise, economics 101. Can you imagine salaries in NYC if every position was paid bade on the cities COL? It would be unsustainable....

As a general rule of thumb one would like the police to live in the area/neighborhoods they patrol so they are not seen as 'outsiders'. Obviously there are exceptions to this generality and as there are in everything in life. Not sure Centre Island, Lloyd harbor, 5th Avenue NYPD, etc. etc. are within the generality. One suspects the police actually live in the real world.

If only our real world also meant salaries go down if supply surpasses demand. Ahem...
