Could anyone speak on the difference between the day-to-day dealings with serious and dangerous crimes/criminals in each city? In terms of cost of living the cities are very comparable so I'm astonished to see the difference in base salary. I'm sure the San Francisco PD doesn't take off Fridays like most municipal offices in CA. http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/city_result.jsp?country=United+States&city=New+York%2C+NY http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/city_result.jsp?country... http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/city_result.jsp?country=United+States&city=San+Francisco%2C+CA http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/city_result.jsp?country... Edit: Upon further thinking there are ~2,000 SFPD and ~35,000 NYPD. NYPD Budget: ~3.6 Million. SFPD Budget: I cannot find.
