He was making 133k as sheriff, so he's taking a cut in pay.
@DennisinPeoria He is retiring from his current job with 75% of his salary which
comes to $97,500. Along with his $120,000 salary the Washington police chief contract with McCoy include five weeks vacation and 12 days sick leave per year, a full-size sport utility vehicle of McCoy’s choice for business and personal use ($90,000), and allowances for uniforms ($1,000 per year) and moving expenses (one-time $3,000 payment). Plus I heard a signing bonus of $20,000. Wow, that's a pay cut most of us would love. This has got to be the biggest crime to happen in the city of Washington.
@VonsterPeo The Peoria Police Chief makes $154,802, the Pekin Police Chief makes $112,633.
