Bulletin No. 685 (Vol. Ill) o f the U nited States Bureau o f Labor Statistics

Salaries and Hours o f Labor in Municipal Police Departments, East North Central

Cities, July 1, 19381

SummaryThe police departments of 95 East North Central cities2 with

populations of 25,000 or more employed a total of about 21,000 persons on July 1, 1938, with annual salaries amounting to approximately $48,500,000. The four largest cities, with slightly more than half of the total population, accounted for about two-thirds of all employees and almost three-fourths of the annual salary expenditures in the 95 cities. Data for the different city-size groups 3 reveal striking differences in per capita salary costs and employment. For example, the per capita salary cost for police protection in cities with populations of 500,000 or more was nearly three times as great as it was in cities with only 25,000 to 50,000 inhabitants.

While the range between the highest and lowest individual salaries was great, salaries at the extremes were relatively few in number. The maximum annual salary paid to any employee was $10,000 received by the police commissioners in Chicago and Detroit. A kitchen helper in Springfield, 111., received as little as $313 a year in salary. However, 79 percent of all salaries were between $1,850 and $2,850. Somewhat more than half of the patrolmen (including nearly all of those in cities of group I) had salaries between $2,450 and $2,650, and the rest were paid lower salaries.

About 92 percent of all patrolmen had the first-grade rating. In 60 cities automatic promotion from lower grades occurred after a specified period of service, usually a year.

1 Analysis and presentation by Gerald M. Whitright. Editing and tabulation of data by Mahlon B. Buckman. Carol P. Brainerd, technical adviser.

2 All cities in the East North Central Division (Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin) with populations of 25,000 or over in 1930, except Dayton, Ohio (200,982), and Anderson, Ind. (39,804), for which information was not available.

On the basis of the U. S. Census of Population for 1930 the 95 cities have been divided into 4 size groups, as follows: Group I includes 4 cities with a population 500,000 or more; group II, 14 cities of 100,000 and under 500,000; group III, 25 cities of 50,000 and under 100,000; and group IV, 52 cities of 25,000 and under 50,000. See appendix table A for list of cities and their populations in 1930.

2 SALARIES AND HOURS, POLICE DEPARTMENTS

Practically all members of the uniformed forces worked under some form of the three-platoon system and most of them were on duty 48 hours a week or less.

Employment and Salaries Range o f Salaries

Forty-three percent of all police department employees in East North Central cities had salaries in the $200 range, $2,450-$2,650. As can be seen from table 1, these were mainly employees in the four largest cities, which had 64 percent of all their employees in the same narrow interval. The greatest number of salaries in the other population groups fell in lower ranges, 62 percent of those in cities of group II and 46 percent of those in group III falling between $1,750 and $2,150. Salaries for the smallest cities (group IV) were still lower, with 45 percent below $1,750 and an additional 23 percent between $1,750 and $1,850.

In the smallest cities 89 percent of the employees were paid less than $2,150 a year. In cities with a population of 500,000 or more on the other hand, only 9 percent were in this salary range. As can be seen from the accompanying chart, there were larger proportions of high salaries in group III cities than in group II. The group III cities, with populations of 50,000 to 100,000, included several suburbs of Chicago and Detroit. Police in these suburban cities received comparatively high salaries.

Almost all of the comparatively few salaries in excess of $4,050 were in cities of group I, the maximum being $10,000.4 Maximum salaries in the other three groups were $6,000, $4,850, and $3,800 paid to chiefs in Cincinnati, Ohio; Dearborn, M ich.; and East Cleveland, Ohio; respectively. The lowest full-time salary in cities of group I was $900, received by a messenger in Detroit. In smaller cities the minimum salaries were appreciably below this figure.

4 The maximum salary shown in any of the tables for cities of group I is $7,920, since the salaries of commissioners and their aides have been excluded from the tables.

Salaries in Various Occupations

Spreads among salaries for the same occupation were relatively wide, because of the great variation in city size. Differences in salaries for different occupations in the same city were widest in the large cities, which ordinarily paid higher salaries than the smaller cities. Spreads were usually wider also for high-ranking officers, such

as chiefs and their immediate subordinates, than for the patrolmen and lower-grade employees.

All of the chiefs in the cities of group I, but only 2 in group II and 4 in group III received salaries of $4,050 or more. In the smallest cities 45 out of 52 chiefs received salaries of less than $3,050.

U S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

All captains in cities of group I received salaries above $3,150, while captains of all other cities, with but one exception, received salaries below this amount. More than half of all patrolmen received salaries between $2,450 and $2,650, and the rest were paid salaries in a considerably lower range. A fourth of the detectives were paid from $2,450 to $2,650, but practically as many more had higher salaries. Over 90 percent of the detectives earning $2,650 or more worked in cities of group I.

Nearly all of the East North Central cities classified patrolmen into two or more grades, only seven reporting them as all one grade. Ninety-two percent of all patrolmen had the first-grade rating, 6 percent were in grades two and three, and the remainder in the lower grades.

Out of every 100 first-grade patrolmen in cities of group I, 83 received salaries between $2,450 and $2,650; in group II, 86 received salaries between $1,850 and $2,050; and in group IV, 73 had salaries ranging from $1,550 to $1,850. In cities of group III the concentrations were less striking, but 52 out of every 100 employees received salaries ranging from $1,750 to $2,150.

As would be expected, the pay of patrolmen in the lower grades tended, in general, to be lower than the rates for those in the first grade. However, 205 fifth-grade patrolmen in Detroit received $2,000 a year, and in the 3 other largest cities 195 third-grade patrolmen were paid slightly more than this amount.

Types of Duty for Patrolmen

The number of patrolmen actually assigned to full-time traffic duty was relatively small. About 17 out of every 100 patrolmen in East North Central police departments were detailed definitely to such duty. Nearly 40 percent of the traffic squads were foot-patrolmen, 28 percent were motorcycle police, 23 percent were in automobiles, and the remainder were assigned to the mounted squad or other types of duty.

Out of every 100 patrolmen on other than traffic duty, 54 were on foot, 31 were in automobiles, and 1 used a motorcycle. Patrolmen assigned to clerical and miscellaneous duties numbered 14 out of every 100. The larger cities required a greater proportion of all employees for clerical work than the smaller ones, because of the necessity for more extensive records in large cities.

Comparison of Employment and Salaries, by Division

The uniformed divisions comprised almost 85 percent of the total personnel in the East North Central police departments, and accounted for about the same proportion of total salaries. However, these proportions varied considerably from one population group to another. For example, the percentage of the total number of employees in the uniformed divisions ranged from 87 in cities of group I to 75 in cities of group III. The principal reason for this difference was that in cities of group III a larger proportion of the total number of employees was in the detective bureau 14 percent as compared with less than 5 percent in the largest cities.

Supervisory employees 5 constituted 13 percent of all police employees in East North Central police departments and received about 15 percent of total salaries. Supervision required one and three- fourths times as many men out of each hundred in the smallest cities as in cities of group I, the proportion increasing consistently as the size of city and department decreased. The proportions of total salaries paid to supervisory employees in each population group were closely correlated with the proportions of personnel.

Hours and Working ConditionsPrimary factors affecting hours and working conditions were the

size and financial condition of the city. State or local legislation also affected both the organization of the departments and the working conditions of police employees. Other factors affecting organization were cost and the need for sufficient flexibility to meet the varying demand for police protection and to take care of such unusual events as parades, fairs, conventions, and emergencies.

Platoon Systems and Hours of Duty

The effect of various factors influencing hours of duty for patrolmen and other members of the force is shown in detail in table 6. Twenty- three systems of hours are enumerated, but it will be noted that more than three-fourths of all employees worked under a three-platoon system having 8 hours a day, with 1 day off each week. This system represented a 48-hour workweek. The workweek under most of the other systems was somewhat longer.

When 1 full day off each week is provided for, as in many East North Central cities, an attempt is usually made to arrange the schedule for each group of policemen in such a way that the days off rotate through the days of the week. To accomplish this, the force is divided into seven groups, each of which has a different day off. The regular vacation with pay is in addition to weekly time off.

6 Include chiefs, assistant chiefs, assistant deputy chiefs, chiefs and assistant chiefs of detectives, inspectors, captains, lieutenants, sergeants, identification chiefs, superintendents and assistant superintendents of the radio and telephone division, and chief clerks.

The systems in which the platoons overlapped each other were used in the smaller cities, where it was necessary to have the largest proportion of the relatively small forces on duty at certain hours of peak demand.



It is customary in many cities to arrange for changing the tours of duty every few weeks in order that the patrolmen do not have to remain on the same schedule of hours throughout the year. In some of the cities no such alternation of tours was provided for, the more desirable hours being assigned permanently on the basis of seniority.

Eight of the smaller cities used variations of the two-platoon system, which divides the men into two groups; but the number of employees in these cities comprised only 1 percent of the total. Except for one employee in the radio and telephone division, the employees classified as being on continuous duty were chiefs who were on call at all times.

Seven percent of all employees were included in the classification Other, and they represented for the most part nonuniformed workers who had hours approximating those worked in private industry. The average workweek for this group was 45 hours, which in general represented about five and one-half 8-hour days.

Promotion of Patrolmen

In nearly two-thirds of the cities provisions were made for automatic promotion of patrolmen from the lowest grade to the next higher grade. In most cases the period of service in the lower grade before the promotion was made was 1 year. Thirteen cities made promotion through appointment, which had as its basis the merit of a patrolman as judged by his superiors. Advancement was made in accordance with the results of civil-service examinations in 15 cities. In 7 cities all patrolmen were classified as of 1 grade, but the remaining 88 cities had two or more grades.T a b l e 7. Police departments in East North Central cities, classified according to

Vacations W ith Pay

More than 99 percent of all employees were granted vacations with pay. About half (primarily the employees in cities of group I) received vacations of 20 days, and more than one-fifth had 15 days of leave, while vacations for about one-fourth ranged between 12 and 14 days. A total of 149 persons, 80 of whom were in cities of group I, received no paid vacation. The shortest average vacations were received by employees in cities in group IV.T a b l e 8 .

Items Supplied to the Uniformed Force

The majority of the cities furnished some items of equipment without charge to the patrolmen. The practice of supplying uniforms was less common in East North Central cities than in other sections of the country. Only 6 of the 95 cities furnished full uniforms and only 2 gave a cash allowance for uniforms. Table 9 shows in detail the number of cities supplying various articles.
