Go ahead and bash away. Financial gain isn't always everyone's primary objective.
I don't know much about the NJA QOL, or the salaries and what nots... But I do know that between the regionals and possibly NJA, there are a lot of police officers forgoing their pensions and coming to work as pilots. Funny thing is, they're finding comparable, if not better compensation and benefits, and the quality of life is far better than they had it as LEOs, even if it does mean not being home every night.
