No, but with benefits, vacation, sick days, and other overhead their fully loaded rate is easily 100k.

There is a rule of thumb where you take an employee's salary and divide by 1000 to get what they would actually cost the employer. Multiple by full time hours (2080) and you get their actual cost.

Or, just go to this calculator and play http://www.artlogic.com/resources/em...ator/index.php. It's more IT focused obviously, but the principle is the same as there will be training costs for cops and equipment costs would likely be higher than a knowledge worker.
