(in the US) Police officers are customarily salaried on the basis of a minimum of 2,080 hours of work per year (52 weeks X 40 hrs per week). Their shifts may vary from 8 to 10 to 12 hours depending on the needs and schedules of their particular agency. All law enforcement agencies serve varying levels of government (municipal all the way to federal) and in a country as geographically widespread as the US there is no uniformity in salary scales or vacation benefits.

Also, police officers often find themselves in the less secure portions of the city or region they work in, which can be stressful.
Knowledge about police officers' job satisfaction to date has been limited to empirical inquiry based on individual officers' educational level, ethnicity, gender, and rank/years of service. This study explores the effect of the agency work environment on officers' job satisfaction in addition to the usual demographic variables. Until now, the police work environment primarily has been viewed in a pejorative context, synonymous with workers' stress, job burnout, cynicism, and alienation. Analysis of survey data from a medium-sized police department in the northwestern United States suggests that a police agency's work environment is a principal source of job satisfaction, regardless of the measure of the dependent variable employed.
