| Paid training | Police Recruits are paid $26.25 an hour, $54,611 a year, during the academy, rising to $57,937 on probationary Police Officer II. The academy is a VA-certified training facility, so eligible veterans and reservists can draw Post-9/11 GI Bill money on top of salary: up to $1,561 a month in the first six months. |
|---|---|
| Pension | Officers may retire after 25 years of service. The City of Memphis Hybrid Pension Plan is a market-based cash balance plan plus a 401(a) defined contribution plan, not a classic final-salary formula. |
| Shift differential | A monthly shift premium for fixed second and third shifts: $22.70 and $45.40 a month for a Police Officer II, rising to $34.05 and $68.10 after six consecutive months on that shift. |
| Tuition reimbursement | $3,000 |
| Student loan repayment | yes |
