The city brought in over a million dollars in fines in one year.
Maybe, but it looks like their Peace Officers make $45,000 ish a year so that’s half of the million spent before you include benefit costs which could easily run another 30% putting it at $700,000. Then you have equipment (Cars, Radios, Uniforms, Firearms, etc) and training costs (Have to stay Certified) for 12 Officers which would probably run another $100,000 per year. Now there’s maybe 20% of that Million left.
