I looked it up last night. Like a lot of PDs in the Northeast, pay starts on the lower end, but rises quick. After a 5 years, a NYPD officer's base pay tops mine with 10 years on. NYPD also has a maximum age at hire, unlike a lot of PDs.

Right now its at 40k for the first year, around the 5 yr mark it shoots up to 50k. You can be earning around 80 to 90k by time of retirement. Rent is like 1,000 a month (studio), 1,500 for an apartment you actually like. Car insurance is a crime here.
Thats pretty much the math.
Now, with the April new contract signing, budgets will be cut. NYPD will most likely make less, and they are raising retirement to 25 instead of 20. All this, and you still need 60 college credits.
