Federal jobs start at about $31,000, the national average, although more selective agencies like the U.S. Postal Inspectors and U.S. Marshals may start you out at $39,000 or more. State jobs, on average, start at about $25,000 but may vary as much as 3,000 to 5,000 either way. County jobs, on average, start at about $20,000 and don’t tend to vary as much although there is some disparity between rich and poor counties. City jobs, likewise, vary depending upon the city, but the average starting pay is anywhere between $20,000 and $30,000, mostly because there are more poor than rich cities. There has been a national movement in the last year or so to get municipal entry levels up to $23,000, but these agencies have a tendency to start you out low, then give you a big raise after the first year or two, where you stay salary-wise until about five years later when you are eligible for promotion thru seniority. It is possible to make six figures a year as police chief in one of the major metropolitan police departments.

Attorney-General of the United States at $96,000.
I think law enforcement pays more..
it depends on what job in certain types of job…
if its being a cop in the criminal justice vs. being a lawyer in law enforcement..there’s no comparison, lawyers get paid more
I would say working for the Federal Government, for example, as an FBI agent.
