Titusville 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.
Titusville Police Department starts at $53,997 a year — about $25.96 an hour on a 2,080-hour year, before overtime. That is $14,393 below the median of the 1,681 agencies on this list, and $17,267 below the median for municipal agencies.
How big the department isTitusville Police Department reported 90 sworn officers and 44 civilian staff to the FBI for 2025. That is 1.8 officers per 1,000 residents, over a population of 50,153.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.
