Here is pay for all city employees that made more than $75,000 last year: http://www.10newsblogs.com/pdf/earnings.pdf You will notice the first two pages have a lot of firefighters. After that you will notice a lot of police. I hope they can stop the next wildfire for that price, lol.
I know they can’t stop the next wildfire, because they have not changed the fire code enough or the way they enforce the fire code to stop the next wildfire. Fire codes and enforcement is the only way to deal with a wind driven wildfire event. Pat Abbott predicted a fire like the 1970(ish) Laguna Fire would decimate East County property and probably take some lives in the future, when I took his Natural Disasters class at SDSU. He was right twice. The fire plan was wrong twice, and it is still wrong.

October 15, 2008 at 8:01 PM #287803jpinpbParticipantI know a lot of people in law enforcement and some in fire. If you think they make so much money, then you can go down and apply. I hear they need police. It’s a difficult job. Long hours, especially when there is a fire.
You put your life on the line. Cops deal w/people on drugs who get violent. Working in Mid-City means there’s a chance you’ll get shot at since there’s shootings there regularly. Even PB wasn’t safe when cops were outnumbered.
Media doesn’t even begin to cover every event and incident that happens w/cops on a regular basis. Just 2 weeks ago I was at Kaiser. When I was leaving, the street was closed and a motorcycle cop bike was laying on the street. Paramedics were there. This guy that was drunk in the middle of the afternoon hit the motorcycle cop who was stopped waiting for traffic so he could make a turn. He suffered broken bones in his leg, arm and hurt his back and neck. This cop fought in a war. Comes home to have a DUI hit him at work.
The income listed includes the overtime. I’d like to say it’s nice they have the option of getting overtime, but some of the overtime is mandatory. Cops often have to work holidays often.
When there’s fire, cops are also required to work overtime, securing perimeter, etc. This puts a strain on their family life, social life. Their job is not easy. It’s stressful.
I’ve read and heard people complain about how much money they make and how little education is required, yet I never hear them say they’re going to go get a job doing it. Why? B/C it’s not so easy. It is a lot of work.

October 15, 2008 at 8:37 PM #288161jficquetteParticipant[quote=j]According to KUSI news, in 2006 40% of San Diego City firefighters made $100,000 or more. Plus they got a 6% raise this year, so close to 50% will make $100,000 or more a year now. That is pretty good for a job that does not need a college education and the employer pays for all the training.[/quote]
I heard the San Diego Police Chief on 600 AM one Saturday a few years ago. He said that with special training, swat etc, some police can earn $130k+.
I couldn’t believe they made that much money. Plus I think they retire at 90% of the yearly average of their last 3 years pay.
