worth 50k ..this is toronto...and all that crap is even less in other GTA... lots of other much lower paid professions deal with those elements and they don't get to commit crimes and kill/assault with impunity like the copsb166er1337 wrote: ↑Try dealing with criminals (robbers, rapists, thieves, scammers, murders) everyday and see how you would like to be compensated.
90% of police interaction/work is community work..only 10% is interaction with actual criminals

That article and its stats do not say anything about life expectancy or physical/mental health issues. Issues and injuries can be seen as two different things. Injuries are counted by WSIB but issues may not be reported or surface later such as post retirement.LandKing wrote: ↑too bad all stats refute your wrong assertions

My father is a retired 37 year member of the Toronto police and although he was often in roles that were life threatening (undercover work etc) he said it is pretty easy for a vast majority of guys to get onto a gig where they do nothing but ride bikes around Toronto all day (think 21 Jump street at the beginning).
Either way it is nearly impossible to join Toronto police now if you are a white male.

if you go read other studies..police never make it anywhere near top 20 let alone top 10 for deaths attributed to profession... highest is abestos exposure, fire fighters and of course the actual dangerous professions like logging, construction, retail (robberies) and for mental health...much worst stats from military folksbhrm wrote: ↑That article and its stats do not say anything about life expectancy or physical/mental health issues.

again police are not even mentioned
much much more dangerous jobs faced by countless other professions who get paid barely above min wage.
you do make a valid point about after job numbers..but those are hard to come by but anedoctally...fire fighters with soot lungs, construction/manufacturing workers with exposure to chemicals and etc... are much worst and we all know about the military folks with mental issues
at least cops have a very safe job and make it to retirement.

I respect Police quiet a bit. Not only because they have a hard job, but because of their restraint. I could never be a cop based on my desire to see criminals pay for their crimes. If I knew that a child molester or wife beater lived at house X and I was sent to investigate, I couldn't help but take the guy into a room and break his legs. I'm too much of a redneck (bad temper) to be a cop so I applaud them for their integrity. They deserve the salaries they get.

Many of these cops work OT to get high salaries. This actually saves money as less people need to be employed thus saving on benefits and pension.

It's not the on-the-job stuff that gets them their high salaries. It's the cluster of rules, bylaws, and whatever that basically force every company around to hire cops at extortion-level prices to do stuff that's just done by regular employees and regular wage private security literally everywhere else in the world that drives up police salaries here. It's basically a mafia protection racket.

Which must mean that 65% of new recruits were white... Canada still defines visible minority as everything else but white.
The class is comprised of 13.5 percent women and 34.8 percent visible minorities. 56.2 percent speak two languages while 29.2 percent speak two or more languages.
http://globalnews.ca/news/1556880/new-r ... e-service/
But the funny part is... Toronto is only 50% white according to the last census data
http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recen ... ll&Custom=
So despite all these myths of "omg if you're black, brown, asian you'll automatically get hired by the the Police!". Thats not necessarily true. The new recruits and still overwhelmingly White by a large margin despite TPS's best efforts to recruit minorities.

It's good to have an expert such as yourself on Policing and Police Officers. I too kinda figured that it's a pretty safe job because I've seen a lot of movies with Police Officers in them and it doesn't really look like they do much. I'd like to know more though, please share what an average shift is like for these guys.LUMilkman wrote: ↑Cops in Toronto very rarely face life threatening situations themselves. Based on the logic in your post, social workers should also get paid that much. Unless some crazed lunatic in a snow plow runs you over, it's a pretty safe job. But good luck getting in, ultra competitive and ultra cronyism.

A good friend of mine is a cop in Hamilton, but apparently you're an expert on disputing my post? Please provide some insight into your knowledge of the subject at hand. Most people know a cop is glorified social worker the majority of the time, especially in a place like Canada with such a violent crime/murder rate, even Toronto only has had 7 murders this year.Yorker86 wrote: ↑It's good to have an expert such as yourself on Policing and Police Officers.

My knowledge comes from watching Hollywood movies and reading forum posts from experts such as yourself that have friend cops. I'm sure your "glorified social working cop friend" supports your theory.LUMilkman wrote: ↑A good friend of mine is a cop in Hamilton, but apparently you're an expert on disputing my post?

Sorry to hear that you never made it. At which stage in the process did you get booted? Was it the little pot smoking here and there? Grey area crime right?

qualifications like this makes me laugh, and to assume cops have nothing to do besides dealing with murders is equally laughable
i think their pay is justified based on the minority of times their life is at risk, i wouldn't do what they do for 100k

Well... people have always been complaining that government workers don't get paid enough. And when someone like the police officers DO get paid... a lot.. people blow a gasket.
I don't see the big deal is, honestly. These guys are the line that separates us folks from murders, rapes, pillagers and pirates.
