AUSTIN, Texas — New San Marcos Police Department officers could see a big bump in their paychecks if they have enough previous experience to qualify.
The starting salary for recruits with four or more years of experience will now be nearly $65,000 per year, according to the department.
That number is in addition to the $3,000 bonus given to the department's incoming officers.
