And why would you think that? In many small towns, LEOs get paid crap wages. Our old county paid firefighters $9.95/hr, deputies $11.25/hr, and paramedics $13.15/hr. Gee getting shot at for $11.25 an hour over working at Walmart for even $10.50/hr? Some people on here never cease to amaze me.
Oh brother...
Well...where I live LEOs get paid very well and they deserve every nickle. But I never heard of someone not getting OT for Thanksgiving. We had a union employees and there was no straight time on holidays. In many jobs it’s automatic doubletime.
I don’t know about towns where people get paid crap
