4. Seattle (Washington)
1.97 police officers per capita
Seattle is probably one of better options on our list of the easiest police force to join: cities with police shortages, because police officers have very good salaries – starting salary is almost $70,000 – compare that to median pay of $56,800 in Chicago, or $54,000 in Portland and when you factor in that SPD plans to keep hiring about 100 officers per year over the next few years Seattle seems like a very good choice.
