Is Maine The Worst Place to Be a Police Officer?

A career website has named Maine the worst place to be a police officer.

Zippia crunched numbers, measuring data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census, including people per police officer, average income adjusted for the cost of living, and entry level income adjusted for the cost of living.

The website adjusted both income metrics by a cost of living factor to more accurately compare pay across states.
