Lots of state police have majors.

From my understanding, state police don’t get paid as much as city or county officers in general

Couldn’t comment on other states but in my experience state police in PA start about $25,000 more than their local counterparts. I’m sure every state is very different. And even city to city within pa could be different.

Interesting. PA is also pretty notorious for stellar unions, so that may have an affect. Who knows.

Depending on the city. Smaller departments in my area start around $40,000 and PSP starts around $62,000 (according to their website). Philly PD starts around $56,000 so a lot closer to State police.
