When a Chief of Police from Maine averaged ~$45,000/year for thirty years, retires and buy a $2.7 million dollar shore house in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, your suspicions are probably correct
LOL had a girlfriend years ago, her dad was a Boston beat cop in the 70-90s. 2 houses in Boston, house at the beach, house in Florida, cars, boats. Probably just saved well.
