This rate is based on the assumption that Michael Clifford is a relatively junior law enforcement officer, possibly in the early stages of his career. School Resource Officers are typically entry-level positions, and their salaries are generally lower than those of more senior law enforcement roles. In the Greater Boston area, the average salary for a School Resource Officer is around $50,000-$70,000 per year. Considering this, an estimated hourly rate of $25-$37 per hour seems reasonable, which rounds to $50 per hour.
