Candidates can expect to receive a starting salary of around $42,500 and to receive medical and dental benefits, which all begin at the start of the Academy. However, a Candidates hours are dependent upon the Police Academy training schedule.
Candidates also want to know whether they will incur any type of expenses during the Academy. The answer is Yes – Candidates will incur certain expenses in connection with the Academy. They will be required to purchase training uniforms and equipment totaling around $2,500, which costs break down as follows:
