Call for higher police chief salaries rejectedFriday 04 December 2009 A call for higher police chief salaries as a way of cracking down on expense claims was categorically rejected by home affairs minister Guusje ter Horst on Friday, reports Trouw. Earlier in the day, Sanna Eichhorn, head of the VMHP Union, said a higher salary could put an end to the various additional costs claimed by police chiefs. ‘Police chiefs deserve better pay. The salaries are considerably lower than other directors in the public and security sector,’ Eichhorn is quoted as saying. ‘In comparison, the salary of police chiefs are lagging behind to the tune of €25,000 a year,’ she says. Instead the minister wants a national system for additional costs that can be claimed by the police, says the Trouw. Currently regional forces operate their own system for these expenses. Earlier this week there was a public and political outcry when it emerged that the head of the police academy has a chauffeur to take him from his home near Leiden to work in Apeldoorn every day by a driver who has to drive down from Friesland. © DutchNews.nl
Ahh, the world-famous Royal Canadian Mounted Police. What was the motto again "we always get our man". Trekking across the Yukon in sub-zero blizzard, enduring months of loneliness in the mountains, attacked by hostile Indians, fur-trackers and wolf packs. Man, they really deserve whatwver they are paid! By Kalajutu | December 7, 2009 10:05 AM Chris leenders : "Plus the police here have also way more power then they do in the N.lands. Sorry where are you from again? By Roger | December 7, 2009 5:47 PM I dont how it is in the states and i hope we dont transform like that states concerning safety issue here in the netherlands. Police officers are to protect and help citizens and NOT t start shooting like cowboys and then ask questions. By kos | December 8, 2009 6:21 AM

Police in Ontario (Canada) are one of if not the highest payed police in the world.
A third class officer starts out at
+/- $80.000 dollars per year, the higher the rank the more money they make. A typical police chief will earn in excess of $175.000 per year plus all their benefits en promotions. An yes the police in the Netherlands are grossly under payed.
Plus the police here have also way more power then they do in the N.lands.
Here they will shoot first and ask questions much later .
