Avg. total cost for a patrol officer = ~$150k incl. benefits
Benefits = 31%
Avg salary = $103.5k
Seattle median *household* income = $93.5
Not even factoring in overtime (which can equal $10k-100k), a single officer makes 11% more than avg household in the city

Side note about overtime.
The pay scale says "3-hour minimum" for court appearances & off-duty callouts.
So that means that if they have to show up at court for an hr, they get paid out for 3 at time-and-a-half
Partially explains how a patrol officer made 400k last yr

Extra info about "longevity pay."
Most of the patrol officers I observed scrolling thru openpayrolls appeared to be making in the range of $53-60/hr
