What is the salary of a police officer in Japan?

Question:




Answer:


Police officers are civil servants employed by prefectural (not national) governments. Their salaries are fixed by their respective prefectural payment systems. So, their incomes vary, depending on which prefectural government they work for.

Speaking in general, they start working in their 20's with approx 200,000 yen a month (including allowances). When they retire at the age of around 60, their payment will reach about 400,000 - 450,000 yen a month. In addition, they can expect bonus and fringe benefits twice a year.

Note:
1. Those who are employed by the National Police Agency (Japanese government) are not prefectural servants and their salaries are higher than police officers in most cases.
2. Police officers MUST be a Japanese national. No foreigners CANNOT be a police officer in Japan.
