Hey Damon, it's not even that good, try $28,000/2080 hrs = $13.46. NOT a decent wage for someone who is asked to risk their life for the community. Well, there's always OT. When I read that the chief of police position for Hawaii paid a $100k I was surprised. It's a lot of money, but it's low for that level of responsibility.
I felt safer in Oceanside, CA because I was friends with many of my immediate neighbors and a few others within a block. Also, when I did call the cops (once in 5 years) at 1:00am it took 5 minutes for them to show up with two cars to nab the bad guys. I lived in an average neighborhood, my house cost less than the average for O'side and way less than the rest of San Diego County. Once O'side was not like that, but the police have responded to the needs of the community and they are paid well to do so.
My wife and I did walk around and meet 4 of our new neighbors on 27th St. 3 of the 5 of us are newly in our homes and hopefully that will help all of us to look out for each other.
Cheers,
Sean
