The Philadelphia Police Department will receive more than $3 million in federal money to hire new officers, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced Monday. The grant, part of $111 million in funding being awarded to law enforcement agencies around the country, will pay for most of the salary and benefits of 25 new officers for the next three years.
The funding is contingent on the positions' being filled only by veterans who have served at least 180 days in the military since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Umm $125,000 per employee. If this is to cover the entire 3 years, not that great of a deal. Would just be a bit over 40,000 and would also have to include costs of employment. The person might be lucky if he gets 20,000 a year.reply - The Sane One 2012/06/26 19:07:27+1It looks as if police officers are HORRIBLY overpaid in Philadelphia.reply
