I find the publishing of the names to be tacky. Unfortuately, it’s probably the easiest way for people to relate it to what they know and experience.

I like some of the notes like on #3 from LAPD. Pension includes one time payment of $652,269.93
I’m assuming #1, from San Deigo has something similar in getting over $785K in a single year.
