“Occasionally, if an officer transfers to Howell with extensive prior law enforcement experience, the Police Chief will make a recommendation to the township manager to start that officer at a higher step,” Geoghegan said. “If an officer comes to us already trained, they will usually start at the probationary step, skipping the police academy step. Once they graduate, they go to a probationary step for one year, before entering the ‘step system’ at one year per step. “Usually, an officer is hired and is paid at a police academy step, until their graduation from the police academy, most often within the first year. Township Manager Brian Geoghegan said it can take an officer between 14 and 15 years to reach step 13. An officer in the highest salary range (step 13) would be paid about $140,000 in 2023. According to the salary ordinance, a probationary officer who is hired in 2021 will be paid about $42,000.
