BTW, I got some better info WRT comparable positions in the fire and police departments. Again, different agencies have different hierarchies, but these comparisons should work for San Diego.
Fire Captain:
Min. $70,969 Max. $85,904
Police Sergeant:
Min. $76,273 Max. $92,206
—————-
Firefighter I:
Min. $39,166 Max. $47,112
Police Officer I:
Min. $49,254 Max. $59,467
—————
Once again, firefighters do NOT make 50% more than police officers. As I said before, they make about the same or less.
