> The I-team also found six sergeants in the Sheriff's Office who live out of state - in Idaho, Nevada, Texas and Tennessee. Two of them work on the bomb squad where they made almost $600,000 in pay and benefits last year.

You can't expect him to live in Millbrae on a police chief's salary!

I don’t mind this at all as somebody who is currently living in California. Idaho is very safe and a working person can purchase a very nice home. California is very expensive and relatively unsafe in many of the major cities although not as unsafe as cities like Portland. Boise, Idaho also has better human rights like less unconstitutional firearm ownership intrusions. I’m making enough money to be firmly middle class but if I was making $200,000 a year I would live out of state as well. I have lived in Los Angeles, Boise, Seattle, Portland, and Texas and I know that Boise is very safe and a pleasant place to live, which I’m sure the police chief in the Bay really appreciates after dealing with the violence that he experiences while working. I wish this man the best.
