Maybe from working side jobs? Most police departments offer a ton of various side jobs. Be it renting out officers to basically do security for various businesses, or working at understaffed or undesirable locations. These jobs usually pay really well, sometimes between 60-80 dollars an hour.

I have no clue if this extra pay would be shown in city salary databases, but I wouldn't be surprised if not.
