I suppose the only harder job would be an English teacher to try and teach you some correct spelling and grammar...
Anyway I'm fairly fit, not fat, haven't beaten any protestors to death (in fact I'm lagging behind in the whole causing death stakes), and haven't thrown any women into a concrete floor in the last few months.
I suppose I'm just slacking off then?

Actually I think the wages the Police receive are pretty fair, although I'd make some changes such as giving front line cops a shift allowance to make it a more enticing prospect than an office job.
There are some places that budget cuts could be made for the Police but sadly they will probably come from the front line and not where the cuts could easily be made.

Or get threatened by someone with a handgun and hand grenades...
