Benefits are probably very good I would imagine.

I started with the Chicago police department in 92 at 30,300. Because of my years of service and sergeant rank, my base pay now is 89,000. With buy backs and being able to sell back up to 200 hours of comp time, I take home a little bit over 100k. Average family take home in Chicago is 44,000-47,000 a year. COLI is lower then both NY and LA. But we do have the 2nd highest sales tax and gas prices as of today from a gas station no where near the loop or the expressway was, 4.45 regular unleaded.
