What is a typical homicide investigator's salary?

Answer by  Fox (8)

There is no typical homicide investigator's salary. Although the range can be from 45K to well over 100K annually, there are variables like rank, agency and amount of homicide activity in the jurisdiction. Overtime is a factor too. An investigator in a large, violent city will typically make a much larger paycheck than a small town cop.

It depends on the agency and region where you hope to work. Salaries vary widely from agency to agency, and depending on experience, and may be quite low ($35,000) or fairly high (100,000), depending on these factors.
