The new recruit [[just out of the academy in April) will be making approx. $28,000/yr. after the cuts. That's not minimum wage so I misspoke, however, when you consider the type of job this is, it's an insult to every officer working for Detroit. Poverty level for a family of 4 is about $23,000. After almost nine months of rigorous training, studying, physical training, $28,000/yr. is pretty bad.
