You can see the salaries of individuals, at least within the police dept. Is this normal for US cities? I've seen situations where public servants earning more than a certain threshold (eg 100kpa) had their names & salaries published. Doing so for everyone down to crossing guards seems like an unnecessary breach of privacy.



It's quite common. Chicago just overhauled their website and lists the salary of every single public employee: https://data.cityofchicago.org/Administration-Finance/Curren...
