Average Salary. Police officers reported an average yearly salary of $56,260, or $27.05 an hour, as of 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This works out to average weekly pay of about $1,082. Their median salary was $54,230, or about $1,043 a week.
Some local law enforcement officers are very well compensated, depending on their assignment. At the medium-sized police department where I used to work, the base pay for a non-supervisory police officer ranges from about $60,000 to $80,000 per year, reaching the top pay step after seven years.
