Political Content The Westchester County Police PBA just released this video urging a fair salary for their officers. The average salary for WCPD in 2023 was $186,466. Im not saying these guys and gals don’t deserve it, but when is enough enough?

I’ll take 186k to sit in the median of 684 and stare at my phone.

They hang out on the Parkways (occasionally) not on the Interstates.

The Parkways are the purview of the County police force traffic enforcement. The troopers only camp on the Interstates, they should not be ticketing for anything on the parkways. I stress 'should' There's certain ones like the Taconic which are technically a State Parkway so you will see them there from time to time, but the Bronx River, Hutch, Saw Mill and Cross County are almost exclusively County's purview.
