Im a trooper aka "Grey God". I use to work for the old city and bailed out prior to the merger. So having working with both agencies I can tell you both have +/-'s. The city paid better. The city usually had better tools to handle homicides and drug suppression ie special units. However, the brotherhood seems much tighter in the (2) posts I worked at for KSP. Also I believe you become a more well rounded officer working for KSP.
