Public Safety
Police officers, constables, detectives, and law enforcement personnel in municipal and provincial police services.
These are total earnings actually disclosed — including overtime, shift premiums and retroactive pay, not base salary. Each province only publishes public-sector staff earning above a set threshold (Ontario $100,000, BC $75,000, Manitoba $85,000, Alberta ~$155,176), so anyone paid less is excluded and the averages skew high — most of all for roles whose standard pay sits near that threshold.
Negotiated base-salary grid by province, stacked from junior to senior level. Each cell is entry step → top step. Showing each province’s most recent in-effect year (pick a year to compare like-for-like) — hover for the exact figures.
Entry (4th-class) to fully-qualified first-class constable base salary at one representative major service per province; excludes overtime, premiums and longevity pay above first-class. Class systems differ by service.
Base salary only — excludes overtime, premiums and one-time pay. These are negotiated grids, not the overtime-loaded, disclosure-threshold figures on the individual job pages. Ranges span the grid from entry step to top step; classifications differ by province, so treat cross-province gaps as directional.
