Politics › Re: NPF: What Nigerian Police Earn Compared To U.S. Officers –prepare To Be Shocked by Dronedude(m): 12:49pm On May 28, 2025
NOETHNICITY:
Please excuse my grammatical mistakes . I’ll go straight to the point

A senior officer around the rank of CSP (DPO) get around 3.9m annually. This figure translates to about $USD2400 per annum!

Normally only the above stated fact is enough to trigger a national revolt instantly in saner climes.

But let’s not stop there, let’s look at what police officers earn abroad and compare to what our police officers earn.

In the United States Police officers salaries vary significantly across states, often reflecting the cost of living and local budget allocations

California for example pay their police officers at entry level $115.000/per annum. This figure translates to around #184.000.000 million Naira per annum.

https://careers.sf.gov/classifications/?classCode=Q002

While their officers that have put in around 15years (same number of years required for a CSP/DPO) earn a base salary ranging between $120.000-160.000 translating to #192.000.000-#256.000.000 per annum

Police officers of this rank in Nigeria earn around $200/monthly (#320.000)

(This makes me feel sick)
While a US officer earns around $9000/monthly and above translating to a minimum of about #15.000.000 per month. (Let this sink in)


Even after adjusting for the cost of living: California is considered expensive, but a police officer’s income still offers a strong middle to upper-middle-class life.

In Nigeria, ₦325,000/month is barely sufficient, especially for officers managing operational risks and family responsibilities.

Also, it is important to note that the above quoted salary for a California police officer does not include pay for:
1, overtime duty—$15000
2, Vacation leave pay and
3, Sick leave—$3000
4, Longevity pay (5%)—$7000
5, Education—$6000
6, Uniform—$1500
7, Special assignments—$8000

Total Estimated Annual Compensation when added to Base Salary amounts to $180,000 – $200,000+
(#288,000,000–#320,000,000)

Let’s look at the social benefits a police officer enjoys in Nigeria: Almost non.

As far I know they enjoy only health insurance benefits that most FG workers enjoy which is nothing to write home about.

As far as I understand, the Nigerian police is positioned to be a failure by FG.

Gbadugbakun:
That man is very stupid. Now that he's lost his son I hope he's very happy with himself.

Why not stop when they ask you to stop. Even if your papers are not complete highest they'll do is to collect money from you.

Now his stubbornness has cost the life of his son.

And to the police officer that discharged his firearm. He should be arrested and jailed.
Heard the boy was running late for exams and he was stuck in traffic only to take one way to avert traffic to meet up the exams before boy is shut out from taken the exams.

He did a wrong thing but also think of the fatherly instinct to do anything for his son to get to his destination and not regret missing out on his opportunity.

The police have no business shooting at an unarmed traffic violator. In civilized countries police chase and even after the chase they don't shoot unless the person is armed and posing a threat.
