The 12 officers in a sleepy Suffolk village earn the fattest average paychecks of any police department in the state — a lavish $187,973, more than double the pay of the average NYPD cop, a ­report said Thursday.

Lloyd Harbor — where there hasn’t been a murder, rape or robbery in at least 14 years — also pays Chief Charles Flynn an annual salary of $285,693, making him the fourth-highest-paid local public employee in New York state, according to the report from the ­Empire Center.

Village Attorney John Ritter said the department keeps crime low and that taxpayers were happy to cough up big bucks to keep it that way.

“We are fortunate not to have major felonies. I cannot remember a homicide, and I’ve been with the village since 1985,” he said.

The median family income in the village of roughly 3,660 is $596,650.
