California is often a target of conservatives who view the Golden State as crime-ridden with weak support for public safety, but a new study shows it’s the best state to be a police officer.
The study by the personal finance website WalletHub ranked the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 30 key indicators of police-friendliness. The data examined ranged from the median income for law-enforcement officers, to police deaths per 1,000 officers, to state and local police-protection expenses per capita.
California was followed by Connecticut and Illinois, while our state’s frequent rival Texas ranked 14th. Last on the list was Alaska.
“Some states make protecting and serving the public in a law enforcement career more appealing than others,” said WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo. “The best states for police officers offer competitive compensation, supplemented by solid training that helps minimize the chances of deadly violence between officers and civilians.”
“State-level policies like ‘red flag laws’ or ‘blue alerts’ also contribute to a better environment for police,” he added.
WalletHub found that California has one of the highest levels of per-capita spending on state and local police and public safety, provides rigorous training for officers, and supports blue alerts and de-escalation strategies to keep officers safe.
