Law enforcement pilot

[Guy Elden Jr]

There is no way I believe this statistic from CNN, but it is nice to
dream...

"Highway patrol pilots -- Pilot airplanes to maintain order, respond to
emergencies and enforce traffic and criminal laws. Annual earnings:
$44,020. Expected growth: 24.7 percent. Annual job openings: 67,000."

I believe the salary part, ain't no way they hire 67,000 pilots a year. 67 a
year would be a stretch.
I'm sure you have to meet qualifications going in (age, ratings, hours etc.)
and you also would have to become a law officer, go through all of that
training.

I know the Sacramento PD usually hires pilots with 10+ years of
experience in street level law enforcement. A hard way to get a pilot
job.

CNN has proven once again......they are total BS!!!! Check with the
Airborne Law Enforcement Association and you probably won't find 6700
pilots flying law enforcement (close to it +-) in the entire USA!
Most departments hire from within who are P.O.S.T certified and are
sworn police officers. I wonder where they ever got those fantasy
numbers?!
