After completing a three-month junior cadre course and nine months of practical experience at the police station, one can be promoted to inspector.,In addition, there are two bonuses awarded each year, and the total amount of the two bonuses is roughly five months' salary.,That means even a rookie cop, with both salary and bonuses, can earn close to 4 million yen a year. For a college graduate who hasn't been "beaten up by society" yet, this basically avoids future "social beatings."。
