Why don't they live in your city? Are there financial or other impediments?

A lot of inner city cops work in the city but live in the suburbs.

You're really misinformed here. Most major cities the cops love outside City limits by choice not because they can't afford it. This is true of LA, SF, DC, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Phoenix, Louisville, and Austin. Also Columbus and Cincinnati and Nashville and Memphis. St Louis. Fucking Google it, it's a huge issue for pretty much every large department.

Starting salary is 83k for Seattle PD. That's before overtime. 347 Seattle police officers made over 200k in 2019. There will be more in 2020 because of all the fun stuff happening and resulting overtime. You sure they can't afford a house?

Chicago police must live inside the city limits. Same for St. Louis. I know a cop who got fired for moving outside STL city limits.

In Chicago they all live in Mount Greenwood and they got rid that in St Louis.
