Disclaimer & Terms Of Use: PublicSafetyPay.com makes an effort to have the most recent and current pay and salaries, but salaries change without our knowledge. This website makes no guarantees that this information is entirely accurate due to many different circumstances. This website’s purpose is to make it easier to and compare salaries for public safety jobs. Please contact the department or agency to confirm and ensure the salary listed is accurate. Please report to us if there is a mistake, typo, or error. By using this website, the user agrees that the salaries and information are a general guide and might not be current or 100% correct. Usually the agency, office, or job provides the pay based on an annual salary. If only the pay per hour rate is provided, the data is extrapolated based on a calculation of 52 weeks in a year and a 40 hour workweek. This is a general calculation and does not implement other factors in a pay rate. Most of the salary information is listed as an entry level position, but this is not guaranteed. Some salaries might be provided based on an already certified status. Also, the salaries do not typically include other additional pay, such as money that is provided for per diem, clothing allowances, stipends, etc. We do try to note if the job pays extra for having a college degree, speak a foreign language, and/or there is extra pay for shift differential work. Keep in mind, our website generally lists the starting pay from date of employment and a significant number of agencies pay more following completion of an academy, training course, or certification.
