What the Intelligence Analyst family covers

Intelligence Analyst covers 3 title codes arranged into 3 levels of responsibility. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.

Public safety classifications are built around rank rather than around grade, so advancement means competing for a different title instead of climbing steps in the current one. Entry requirements are unusually hard-edged: age limits, residency rules, medical and psychological screening, and an academy that must be completed after appointment rather than before it. Pay comes from separate schedules negotiated by separate unions, and those schedules often carry a contract-negotiated jump near the top of the ladder that the civilian tables do not have.

The ladder, ordered by pay

The Intelligence Analyst rungs, listed from the best paid down. Here the numbering happens to agree with the pay order, which is not guaranteed elsewhere in New Jersey's plan.

The distance from the bottom of Intelligence Analyst 1, Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness to the top of Intelligence Analyst 3, Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness is $96,063, an increase of about 105% over the entry minimum.

On how the jobs are filled: 3 are unclassified, which means appointment at the employer's discretion and salary set individually.

Median actual pay varies across the family, from $113,615 for Intelligence Analyst 1, Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness up to $144,659 for Intelligence Analyst 2, Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness.

State payroll only, deduplicated by payroll title; local employers file separately, so a family with local codes looks smaller here than it is. How this is counted.
