The Patrolmen's Benevelont Association has negotiated a tentative deal with a 17% salary increase over four years. According to WNBC, the "deal running from 2006-2010 gives police officers a four percent raise in each of those four years and contains no substantial givebacks." The starting salary will now be about $42,000, a 68% jump from the $25,000 starting salary rookies had in recent years; current starting salaries are $36,000. Maximum pay will be $76,488, vs. the current $65,382. Noting that this negotiation did not need to go to arbitration, Mayor Bloomberg said, "I have always believed that the best contract agreements are those that are reached at the bargaining table, and this is a good example of that."

maximum for who? patrolmen? detectives? i hardly doubt a master's degree'd detective is making under 100k
Where do I sign up? I could use that kind of money for driving to the local Dunkin Donuts and put a hit on innocent bystanders.
snoopy, i don't think you have what it takes to be one of new york's finest.

This doesn't apply to Detectives; they're not represented by the PBA but by the Detectives Endowment Association. Sergeants are represented by the Sergeants Benevolent Association, and also have a different contract.
So this is for "patrolmen" (which in spite of the name of the organization that represents them in collective bargaining really isn't a title in NYPD, where they are called Police Officers).
For the sake of completeness instead of giving a couple of examples maybe I should have mentioned that there are actually five unions representing sworn members of the NYPD, so five diferent contracts. The other two are the Captains Endowment Association and the Lieutenants' Benevolent Association.
Brook. No really I am a dedicated individual to CPR. I could "Protect and Serve". I could do a lot of things to make the city safer, like cold cocking bicyclists, and beating up people, also I am a pretty good shot given a clip or two of twenty rounders.
While running in prospect park tonight, I saw some little punk on one of those miniature motorcycle things buzzing down the runner's path, followed shortly by a NYPD SUV. Three minutes later down the road, I saw one of the cops putting the bike in the back of the SUV, and the schmuck trying to plead with the officer about it.
That is a good example of the cops earning their keep.
The proper term snoop is 'magazine'. Semi-autos use magazines unless you happen to be wielding an old SKS or Enfield, which use clips..or more specifically, stripper clips.
Maybe now the NYPD will have less thugs in the department then in their holding cells.
how much does the bike-pusher get?
PH, like Boys Life and Field and Stream? How do they fit in the gun?
Actually the two terms are similar, I always think of magazines as being larger capacity clips.
Generally, while there are exceptions and complications, in small arms a clip holds rounds in place and is inserted into a magazine, which contains a mechanism that in turn feeds them into the weapon.
In more general terms, a magazine is any container that holds or stores ammunition.
The two terms are "similar" in about the same way that "sock" is similar with "shoe." Hmm... a shoe is a larger capacity sock...
Good news because you know what? They work to keep the garbage out and when needed set up a command post in the middle of the Bronx for months at a time to keep the peace. If you are a pimp,pusher,prostitute,gang member then you are going to loose your money guaranteed!
