An FOI filed months ago with the Vancouver Police Department by CityCaucus.com has now arrived in our mailbox – coincidentally just before a long weekend. It reveals that 477 employees working for the Vancouver Police Department are now in the exclusive $100,000+ Club. This compares to the 2008 calendar year whereby 345 employees were earning more than $100K in 2008. If you recall, The Province newspaper also provided this story with front page coverage last year.

Our FOI requested the salaries (including overtime) and expense claims for all those employed by the Vancouver Police Department in 2009. The highest paid employee on the list was Chief Jim Chu who earned $303,602.44. Other top earners include several Deputy Chiefs and inspectors who also earned up to $207, 897 per year.
