The topic du jour around here is the pay scale for cops in Rockland County. The Clarkstown police chief makes over $300,000 per year.
According to one national ranking, Clarkstown, in Rockland County, is
consistently among the safest towns in America with at least 75,000
people, based on its crime statistics. In 2007, it was the second
safest, and in 2008, it was the sixth.But Clarkstown is also at
the top of another category that Chief Peter T. Noonan is less thrilled
to discuss: police pay.

In 2008, Chief Noonan, 56, made $332,529.88. He
was not even the highest paid: One of his two captains earned $335,676,
while working two days a week because of a disability and spending
three days a week undergoing physical therapy. The other captain earned
$311,369.
School teachers do really well there, too. Second grade teachers make more than college professors.
I'm in the wrong line of work.
This then led to griping about the pay of the local superintendent. He is in charge of two elementary schools and one middle school. He makes $200,000 per year.
