In a lot of states it's more or less traditional, institutions battle to keep wages low. But ultimately it comes down to supply and demand. If they can get people to accept what's offered, that becomes the standard.
Most LE Agencies are still utilizing an outdated way of thinking, thinking it’s a privilege for the officer to work for them, rather than realizing it’s the other way. No one wants to be a cop anymore, most cops don’t want to be cops but are complacent with where they are.
What’s changing the culture is the high recidivism rate officers bounce from agency to agency to the highest bidder, forcing agencies to raise their salaries (especially in Metro Atlanta).
Security salaries in Georgia are generally on the lower side compared to states like California or New York, mainly because the cost of living is lower. However, bigger cities like Atlanta often offer higher pay, especially for roles in corporate security or high-risk environments.
