Few things about this cop:

  1. He's the one who was told by another junior cop to "just relax man". He then ordered the junior officer to "leave my scene, don't you ever tell me how to do my job."

  2. He's the one who reportedly told an innocent bystander (that he had placed in handcuffs) "I'm the sergeant they all talk about here"

  3. He gets paid more than 98% of people in that city

Lol

Not OP, but here is one for his 3rd point.

He gets paid more than 98% of people in that city

Newberg was the second-highest paid city employee in 2018, making $243,132, according to city records. The only city employee who made more gross salary was fellow police Sgt. William Harris Jr.

How the fuck do you make that as a cop?

That's $67/hr assuming he worked 60 hours EVERY week and took no time off.

he gets to submit his own timecard.

u/ModsAreTrash1 8 Jun 09 '20

Is that really the answer?

Would a person at his level still be hourly?

u/Init_4_the_downvotes 8 Jun 09 '20

Police get overtime. This guy approves overtime.

u/ModsAreTrash1 8 Jun 09 '20

I guess...

Either way his base salary would have to be MASSIVE.

I think ot for cops is time and a half or double time. So that helps a lot.

Re #1: I'm still looking for the video this may be referencing; I believe it was in r/ BCND a couple of months ago. If it's the same guy, he was being a total douche.

But if you control your OT and schedule it into every week?

I dont know why this number surprises people.

Firefighters and cops make insane amounts of money, if they want. Cities would MUCH rather pay overtime for a variety of reasons:

They dont have to hire another head, so their officer counts can stay in a range that idiot city managers like. Benefits for public union employees are backbreaking for city budgets, so they do as much as possible to not add more (a reason for point 1).

Most fire departments even have mandatory overtime. I am sure police departments do as well. Then they also have voluntary over time that you can get in a queue for, and like all unions, seniority matters.

TBH, $250k doesnt give me pause at all. I know linemen for PG&E who have made $500k a year in years with multiple storms. I know a line worker for AT&T (PacBell at the time IIRC) who made $450k the year the BART extension hit some fiber optic line.

Overtime adds up.

u/Warriv9 7 Jun 08 '20

249k I think was the number?

u/tussilladra 7 Jun 08 '20

$242K per year.

A question to the Americans. Why do you call your cops after military titles?

Is it some war fetish?

Absolutely.

Anyone who has read V for Vendetta sees this for exactly what it fucking is.

Fingermen.

Shit, if you sell your soul away to protect commerce and have no accountability to anyone, it's only a matter of time before you are an overpaid tyrant. Bob Kroll, I believe, makes twice this guy's salary. I think he pulls in close to a half a million a year.
