What is the average pay of a police officer in the U.S.?

Answer

$25,000 and up, mostly up. Average is around $40,000 to $60,000 a year.

There are different factors you need to take into consideration. First a police officer is going to make around $25,000 and up the first year, and then another thing to take into consideration is that if you have an Associates Degree or a Bachelors you will get paid more as well. Plus it matters what career in the police department you are trying to seek as well.
