The only lump sum is from accumulated vacation time. There is a Federal Line of Duty death benefit of $150K (may have gone up). Nobody does it for the money!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952634272163857688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226838436148080722.post-78032548857903559592015-07-07T17:05:38.367-05:002015-07-07T17:05:38.367-05:00I don't what the average annual salary is for ...I don't what the average annual salary is for law enforcement agents & I suspect it varies based on rank, years in & the municipality in which you serve! However, whatever the pay is, it's not enough? I heard (I don't know where so I can't be certain it's true) that once you retire in addition to your pension officers get a lump sum of money (combat pay????)?? Is that true? If so, if G-d forbid your killed or injured in the line of duty does your next of kin get that?? I know your job is very dangerous but this shit is scary! So again I say, thank you for your service!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226838436148080722.post-19785032481506484602015-07-07T13:14:10.208-05:002015-07-07T13:14:10.208-05:00I'm usually the kind of person who believes if...I'm usually the kind of person who believes if everyone had chocolate cake and a puppy to hug and love, the world would be a happy clappy place and we would all get along ... but I can't summon up much beyond relief that this %^$E^ is not wasting oxygen anymore. BB Gun or whatever, it takes a very special blend of stupid and psycho to make you think brandishing anything when the cops are trying to talk to you is a viable plan. Good on those cops - I am glad they had the training and professionalism to keep themselves and the public safe, I am sorry they had to ... no matter how justified, that can't be an easy thing to walk off.Carolynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226838436148080722.post-29477471656671282272015-07-07T11:05:00.227-05:002015-07-07T11:05:00.227-05:00Good shoot.

Excuse my language, but there's no other word for it. <br /><br />Thank goodness there were 2 officers and they were focused and executed perfect teamwork.
