- gjolund 10y agoIf I can make $150k writing JS in Los Angeles then CHP deserves at least $110k a year.
- johnwheeler 10y agoYou're equating risk and skill. I don't disagree with it, but the problem is the societal forces that compensate the CHP don't compensate the soldiers in Afghanistan who take similar, if not greater, risks. Why is that?
- gjolund 10y agoWhy is it the opposite on Wall Street? Higher risk equates to a bigger return. Because we value money more than lives. My ability to build an app that generates revenue is more valuable than CHPatrolman ability to save a life.
- mywittyname 10y agoIt's actually a quarter million a year in total benefits.
- zaccus 10y agoCan they elect to receive a quarter million cash dollars in lieu of benefits? If not, such benefits are not really part of their compensation any more than their uniforms or cars.
- mywittyname 10y agoI guess it depends on what constitutes "other pay." There's an officer with $70,000 worth of Other Pay. But overtime pay is definitely paid in cash. But if you want to quibble about $70,000 in pension and healthcare payments, that still leaves $160-180k a year in direct compensation.
