Nope. You are pretty much espousing the tired dumbass lefty solution to all government failure, throw more money at it. What is needed is reward and real punsihment based on merit of their service. That's pretty difficult to get in a socialist/political system.
You are a simple minded fool, top.
If your pool guy does a lousy job do you offer him a raise? No you fire him and hire someone else. You might have to pay that someone else more, but simply paying them more will not insure better performance. They perform better because they have learned they will be rewarded for doing so.
Like most socialized services, there is no reason for police officers to do a better job. Either privatize it or attempt to make it more market like by rewarding good performance and punishing poor performance.

Just raising pay will not insure better performance. Maybe some more qualified people will apply, but that won't mean they will perform any better. Frankly, we'd be better off with the qualified people out in the real world doing important jobs where they will get paid for performance.
Yes, they do. Much of police work is repetitive and boring, high IQ people do not usually last long on the job. They take a mid-range, but they do not want the high IQs.
Also, what I am talking about, the fact that there is no reward/punishment for performance tends to drive out good people. Raising base pay alone does not solve that.
One of my first jobs, my starting pay was pretty lousy. I worked hard though and got a good raise and other reinforcement, which made me work even harder. I have had other jobs since where I was started well above the elevated rates of that early job. I worked hard and got meager to nothing raises. I stopped working hard and looked for a different job.

Most places are based strictly on seniority, no matter how good you are. Hierarchy will ultimately fail humanity. Distributed planning, heterarchy, freedom, and merit will someday rule the universe.
In government jobs and most large corps, yes.
