Loganville Police Department entry pay
What this agency pays a new officer to start, and how that compares with the rest of the country.
Entry pay onlyEvery salary here is what an officer is paid on day one, out of the academy — base pay on a 40-hour week, with no overtime, shift differential, specialty or education pay counted. Nobody stays on it.
Loganville Police Department starts at $53,796 a year — about $25.86 an hour on a 2,080-hour year, before overtime. That is $12,889 below the median of the 2,288 agencies on this list, and $14,344 below the median for municipal agencies.
Cost of livingPrices in Georgia run about 4% below the national average, so this goes about as far as $55,867 would somewhere at average prices — $2,071 more than the headline figure. Most of that is rent, at 89 against a national average of 100, where goods are 99. Based on state-wide price levels, because this agency is not tied to a single metro area, from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, 2024. The salary above is what the employer publishes; this line is our arithmetic on it, and nothing on this site is ranked on it.
How big the department isLoganville Police Department reported 31 sworn officers and 4 civilian staff to the FBI for 2025. That is 1.8 officers per 1,000 residents, over a population of 17,600.A rate is only meaningful for a city department, where the population served is the city’s own. Reporting to the FBI is voluntary, so a count can reflect a partial return as easily as a small agency, and the FBI asks that agencies not be compared on staffing.

Where the figure comes from
Checked 23 September 2026. City of Loganville, Police Officer job posting: "Georgia POST Certified Officer: $53,795.55 Minimum Starting Salary", above "Non-Certified Police Cadet: $48,736.12 Starting Salary". — open the source document
$53,795.55 is printed as the minimum starting salary for a POST-certified officer and needs no conversion. THE CADET RATE IS NOT THE ENTRY RATE: $48,736.12 is paid to a non-certified cadet before the academy. The posting accepts anyone who holds POST certification or meets the requirements to enrol in Basic Mandate Training, and asks for no prior years of service, so the certified minimum - the post-academy class - is the rate for a new officer with none. No effective date is printed; applications are accepted until filled. Excluded: night shift differential, overtime and benefits.
Entry-level base salary only. Overtime, bonuses, education incentives, shift
differentials, locality pay and lateral rates are excluded, so most officers earn more
than this.
