Top earner at State Police made $431k last year (home, construction)

[MtPleasantDream]

I won't say it is too much, but the OT is still quite high, in spite of the controversies...

-----------------------------------

Capt. Thomas McCarthy was the highest earner at the State Police, bringing home $431,159, including $198,241 in base pay, $221,317 in overtime pay and $11,600 in other pay.

Sgt. Michael Fiore trailed behind McCarthy at $399,457, including $149,314 in base pay, $241,803 in overtime pay, and $8,340 in other pay.

Capt. Stephen Mills was the third highest earner at $382,418, including $198,204 in base pay, $180,164 in overtime pay and $4,050 in other pay.

You can find salaries of all government employees here https://cthrupayroll.mass.gov/#!/year/2023/

I don't know what the "other pay" is, but most likely police details.
My ex neighbor has been a state trooper for 7 years. I checked his salary out of curiosity, and found he has $102k base, $36k "other pay" and some OT.

At least some folks pay seems to be keeping up with inflation...

I wonder how many hours a week they're working to make $400K.

The less cops you have, the more OT that's available.

No idea what the standard is for hours per week nor what the OT multiplier is but assuming base pay is based on 40 hours every week and OT is 1.5x, it looks to be about 70 hours per week.

In Massachusetts every construction site requires police monitoring, which generates a lot of work hours.
