Ok, I'll suggest that your average cop has a level of training and responsibility about the same as a Corporal or Sergeant. Fair?

Assuming you agree (you won't but I don't particularly care) their levels of pay are between 26-36k which is pretty damn close to the levels of pay Police officers enjoy.

And why should overtime, currently time and a third, be at normal rate? It kind of defeats the whole object of overtime!
