Cops that make ten bucks an hour? Maybe in bumfuck Mississippi. Try more like 30-45 an hour. And when they make an overnight trip, they receive a per diem to cover meal costs. Usually something like $60 a day. So 16 hours x 3 officers x 40 an hour + (60 per diem x 3 officers x 2 days) = 2280. That's without even counting the motel room or the mileage costs on the car. > > Rental of aircraft at the least $100 per hour, most likely for 6 hours, > total $600.00 > Not to mention the officers pay on top of that. 3 officers x 6 hours x 40 per hour + 600 for the plane = $1320. > Any unforseen down time of the aircraft is also part of the rental > agreement.

Well, I'm allowing six hours total, so that's taken in to account. Still cheaper by a thousand bucks or so to fly him in. > > Which is cheaper?

Starting pay for a CHP or state police in California is about 42-48K per year, depending on things like education and languages. Average pay per year easily runs 60-80K per year for most non-supervisory CHP and state police; add in benefits and you get a labor cost of easily 40 bucks an hour. Bo Raxo
