Municipal Government
Public Safety

'Introduction The Georgia Department ofCornrnunity Affairs began collecting wage and salary data in 1987, providing key
reference infonnation for state and local elected officials, administrators, and citizens. This publication is a compilation of data collected from the 2000 County Wage and Salary Survey.
Separate publications are available in county and municipal government editions for 2000 wage and salary data covering three key areas of local government employment: administrative and general, public safety, and public works. Each publication contains an appendix listing the jurisdictions responding to the 2000 County Wage and Salary Survey. For data on elected officials' salaries, please call (404) 679-3151. We thank those local officials and staff whose participation made this publication possible.

About the Data in This Publication

This publication includes data on wages and salaries for municipal government public safety employees as of July 1,2000. Wage and salary data are collected and reported for full-time positions only. For the purposes of this report, full-time employment is 35 hours or more per week. For instances in which a responding local government did not report a data element, "NR" appears.

The survey requests the entry level and maximum wage on either an hourly or annual basis. If hourly figures were reported, we convert that infonnation to an annual salary based on the number of weekly hours reported. We assumed a 40-hour work week when a government did not report hours. Public safety positions that worked "24 hours on; 48 hours off" schedule are reported as 48 hours weekly. If a government did not have a pay scale or salary range, the respondent was instructed to enter the actual salary paid to the current incumbent as both the minimum and maximum rates.

Job Descriptions Job descriptions for positions included in this report are arranged in alphabetical order following this Introduc-
tion. We asked respondents to provide infonnation for those jobs with duties most closely matching the job descriptions if their government uses a different job title for a position.

Population Eight population groups aid comparison of detailed and summary data on jurisdictions of similar size. The Groups report presents summaries of data for each job title using these population groups. Population group ranges

reported in the table below use 1999 Census Bureau population estimates. The table reflects the number of

"

jurisdictions in each group and the number responding to the 2000 survey.
