Tennessee’s high demand for police officers might be because of the many crimes it has. Even so, that reason shouldn’t keep you off from working in there especially if you are a police officer. It also means more jobs to do, which is always a good thing. The wages they have are not very high, but with the cost of living expenses they have, even the lowest wages could be enough.
