The salaries are totally obscene and disproportionately out of line with other similar towns and cities. The amounts that are disproportionately above comparable cities and towns can be classified as WELFARE!
Welfare is the provision for a level of well-being and social support for citizens, sometimes referred to as “public aid”. In most developed countries welfare is largely provided by the “government”. The welfare state expands on this concept to include services such as “universal healthcare” and “unemployment insurance”.

A Star-Ledger analysis shows the average municipal cop in New Jersey is paid 80 percent more than the average resident, and three of 10 made at least $100,000 last year. In addition, police tend to be paid the best in small towns with little crime.
Among the other findings:
• The median salary for the state’s 20,525 municipal officers was $90,672 last year, meaning half earned more and half earned less.
• A total of 6,198 municipal officers made at least $100,000 last year. Ninety-nine of 466 towns that pay police have six-figure median salaries. Most are in North Jersey, primarily Bergen County.
• Suburban cops are paid the best while city officers generally make less and rural cops make the least.
“Any police officer that says they’re not making enough money needs to re-examine themselves,” said Saddle Brook Township Police Chief Robert Kugler. In that Bergen County town, 30 of 31 officers made six figures last year,
In Bergen County, 59 of 68 towns have median police salaries above $100,000. The highest median pay in the state was $134,132 in Rochelle Park,
Last year, Closter police earned a total of $157,190 in overtime, Chief David Berrian said, about $7,859 per officer. This year they’ve capped overtime at $125,000, but Berrian expects the department to hit that limit Oct. 1.
Edison, where 164 of 186 officers made six figures last year, paid out $790,946.62 in overtime, about $4,252 per officer, local union President Keith Hahn said. Overtime costs are up 9.9 percent from last year because the town has lost officers, Hahn said.
GARDEN STATE SALARIES
Police salaries stack up well when compared with other professions. The average municipal police salary last year was $89,630, compared to the state’s average per capita income of $50,313.
Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show municipal police make more than civil engineers ($87,090), architects ($85,050) and rank-and-file firefighters ($71,810). They make less than dentists ($154,130), veterinarians ($117,170) and real estate brokers ($96,240).
Federal data on 2009 wages also show New Jersey officers are the best paid in the country — the median salary for municipal and sheriff patrol officers is $80,120. (That’s lower than The Star-Ledger’s calculation for median salary, which includes superior officers.)
New Jersey is rivaled only by California at $78,460, according to the federal statistics. Illinois trails in third with $69,900. New York is ninth at $60,620, Connecticut 10th at $60,490, and Pennsylvania 19th at $54,140.
Rank County Median Police Pay
1 Bergen $109,700
2 Middlesex $97,022
3 Ocean $95,946
4 Morris $95,164
5 Monmouth $95,016
6 Somerset $94,486
7 Mercer $93,246
8 Passaic $92,756
9 Essex $90,160
10 Hudson $90,082
11 Union $88,150
12 Sussex $86,690
13 Cape May $84,572
14 Atlantic $83,440
15 Hunterdon $81,864
16 Warren $80,420
17 Burlington $80,011
18 Camden $79,686
19 Gloucester $78,872
20 Cumberland $72,100
21 Salem $68,792
But data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show police here are paid better in comparison with other professions than they are elsewhere in the country.
The average rank-and-file cop nationwide makes 27 percent more than the average resident. In New Jersey, the average rank-and-file cop makes 55.3 percent more.
Brigantine need 4 fire captains? What a ripoff to the taxpayers.
One is more than sufficient. Firemen and cops making more than MD’s; this is ridiculous . If you put these jobs out on the market you could reduce these salaries by 50%.
That goes for Dorin’s and Reid’s salary also.
Lets also remember that there is no one in this town 9 months out of the year.
