    Definitely wasn’t about the money but actually *serving his community.* Remember, when he started working as a cop he worked for free. This is what being a peace officer is. It was a calling for this gentleman.

      Being a peace officer is... working for free?? Oh hell no. Each work deserves salary. Especially when said work involves the carrying and risk of use of firearms against armed criminals.
      You have to have motivation different than money, but you can't expect people to actually work pretty much anywhere without a decent salary.
      The calling should be what drives you to work, of course. But the calling AND the salary (amongst some other things, but these two first and foremosy) are what should make you stay.

    I don’t think it was about the money. It’s something he loved doing with his time. It wasn’t work to him. Nothing wrong with that. Of course he was to old to be out there patrolling as a beat cop. He had a good relationship with the community so the Department gave him a safe position off the streets.
