Survey name: "Making Ends Meat" - Law Enforcement and second jobs
Poll Release: September 2007 Week #4

Where you live plays a major role on the value of your paycheck. Therefore, this survey did not ask the amount on your paycheck, but rather "Can you get by?" with what you make. The poll was issued to Law Enforcement officers across the United States and abroad.

Being a "quick-poll", the intention was not get to the bottom of wage discrepancies in Law Enforcement, but rather to shed some light on how well Law Enforcement wages are, or are not, fulfilling the financial needs of officers and their families.

Responses:

Most responses for "Other" included military service. Additionally other responses included the theme of "spare money"
