Police sergeants in New Jersey make an average annual base salary of about $90,000 to $99,000, though total compensation frequently exceeds $130,000 to $160,000 when factoring in overtime, extra-duty assignments, and longevity pay. Exact earnings are highly localized and depend heavily on the specific municipality, department seniority, and rank.
