Peace Officers receive health, dental, and vision benefits. Peace Officers also earn vacation leave, sick leave, and holiday credits, and may be eligible for special educational and physical fitness incentive pay.

Upon permanent appointment to a Peace Officer position, individuals are enrolled in the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) and become members of the State Peace Officer/Firefighter retirement category. This retirement system is one of the best in the nation. Peace Officers may retire at age 50, earning 3 percent of their salary for every year worked as a Peace Officer. Actual pension is determined based on years of service as a Peace Officer. For example, Peace Officers can retire with approximately 90 percent of their income at age 50, after 30 years of service.

I think a job that involves removing shanks from the anal cavities of inmates should be well compensated. Where I live though (10.1% unemployment) I still believe they would have many takers.
