2006 POLICEPAY Index Just Released!

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- POLICEPAY.NET has released the 2006 POLICEPAY Index, ranking the 200 largest cities in the United States based upon police compensation. This index uses a total compensation methodology that breaks down an officer's pay and benefits over a 30-year career into a per hour rate that allows each location to be accurately compared.

Produced by Ronald J. York, President of POLICEPAY.NET and a well-known accountant and labor negotiator, this index provides an accurate representation of police wages and benefits across the country. Over the years, our index has become widely used by government agencies and police unions for determining market values, individual police recruits looking for a department to apply to, and reporters covering stories regarding police wages and benefits.

The full 2006 POLICEPAY Index is available at no charge for download at http://www.policepay.net/ , or can be requested by email at editor@policepay.net , or by fax at (405) 234-2245. Custom data reports are also available for members of the media upon request to compare individual types of compensation.
