Top 50 Bedford Town Salaries: 2012

We at Bedford Patch wanted to release, for your knowledge, the names of the 50 highest paid Bedford employees, just as we did in 2011. Your tax dollars pay their salaries, after all.

Of the top 50 employees, 24 work for the police department and 10 are associated with the fire department. The list, which is broken down by name and position, is ranked based on gross income (which includes overtime, police details, etc.).

Check back later this week for a similar list of Bedford School District employees, and click here to see how Bedford municipal salaries compare to nearby (albeit larger) towns such as Merrimack, Londonderry and Salem.
