We pay the same as everyone else.
While working as a campus police officer for a state university my state taxes were much less, mainly because I would be paying myself if it were at the same level as everyone else.

We are no different than any other goverment employee.
Although this is the only job I know of where people frequently tell me "I pay taxes, so I pay your salary". My response is "I probably paid more in taxes than you did last year".
In 2006, my gross pay was $54,243.55 and I paid $8749.34 in federal taxes, $3363.10 in state taxes, and $786.55 in Medicare taxes, for a total of $12898.99

At least in Illinois they do now. As of around 1990(maybe later), older officers were grandfathered from paying social security if they were in a department pension plan. That changed and officers hired after that time pay S.S. tax. Officer still pay into their pension plan and social security.
As far as I know, they all pay all the taxes now. Just got out of social security for a time . Matter of fact, at one point, we had several officers that qualified for federal aid and the milk and cheese give-away. So makes you think how little they were paid.

The same taxes that everyone else does. So, yes I pay my own paycheck.

Yup, local, state and federal. Same as anyone else.
Don't pay social security and have a kick-*** retirement plan.
