Holden]The average police salary in Toronto is over $100k
I have 2 friends that work in law enforcement here in CA. Both make low to mid 6 figures after OT.
What is the hourly rate though? 100k if you're working 60 hours a week every week is about $30/hour which is nothing to sneeze at but you can make the same amount of money as an electrician or something else where you aren't getting shot at. You're also talking about CA where cost of living is a lot higher than most places.
Keeping with the electrician analogy, having cops without tactical gear is like asking an electrician to not own an arc flash suit. Yeah, there's times he'll be working on 110 volt power and maybe it's not necessary, but it's nice to know he has one in case they send him to a plant working on 480V equipment.
You guys took small part of what I said and dissected it and then didn't address any other parts. Way to go.
