A Bay Area city is offering new cops a hefty $75,000 bonus on top of their $110,000 starting salary after struggling to find candidates amid a staffing crisis.Earlier this year, the city of Alameda found itself with a third of its 88 full-time officer positions vacant, as police departments compete to replace officers who switched jobs or retired during the pandemic. Police Chief Nishant Joshi then came up with the impressive bonus plan to fill the 24 positions as quickly as possible, and in April the Alameda city council approved the $75,000 enlistment plus.
