True and that can be awesome when you retire on a pension based on a salary like that and move away. But its a long line, there are thousands of people in front of you. Good Luck

Drink with a few current LEO including beat cops and a California prison gaurd.
And yet not smart enough to realize the question was asked almost 3 years ago.

SFPD Public Relations dept. maybe (putting that degree to work)? The type of job that, with a high degree of probability, would create an instant alcoholic.

SFPD officers earn a great salary, especially if they plan a long-term career. You're looking at a starting salary in the $80k's with pay raises into the early $100k's. However, the city when I last checked was only hiring experienced officers due to overwhelming demand. San Francisco is a tough city to start as a police officer. There's a lot to deal with. Crime per capita isn't too bad here, but you deal with a wide range of people. Good luck!
