Answer 1

You can expect to make around $35,000 a year as a Homicide Detective. Keep in mind that your salary will heavily depend on the city your in and the department you work for. Homicide Detectives in New York City will make a significantly higher salary than a homicide detective in rural Georgia. But even in New York City, the county police officers may make a lower salary than the city police. $30k-$40k is a good estimate of what to expect.

Answer 2

The salary for a homicide detective is the amount of money a homicide detective is paid on an annual basis. This amount will differ from department to department, within states, and within countries.
If you are interested in becoming a cop for the great pay, benefits and hours, you have the wrong motivation. Become a teacher instead.

Answer 3

In 1998, the median salary of detectives and criminal investigators was $46,180 a year. The middle 50 percent earned between $35,540 and $62,520; the lowest 10 percent were paid less than $27,950, and the highest 10 percent earned over $80,120 a year.

Answer 4

If you are looking to make $75,000 as a police detective anywhere in the U.S., FORGET IT. Go to college and get a degree in something like computer science, or one of the engineering fields. Health care is another great option, if you like to make lots of money.
