A newly proposed contract between the city of Phoenix and the police union aims to keep Phoenix police officers the highest paid law enforcement organization in Arizona. MORE ⬇️
PHOENIX — The Phoenix Police Department is currently the highest-paid law enforcement organization in Arizona. A newly proposed contract between the City of Phoenix and the police union aims to keep it that way.
The proposed contract means base wages for officers would increase by 2.16%. The current starting salary for a police recruit is $68,661. The city has budgeted for 3,125 officers but they are currently short more than 560 officers. The numbers have fluctuated over the years, but the department was at its highest in 2020, at 2,847.
"The housing department, mental health and substance use professionals - they're the ones providing direct services to the most at risk in our city. If we fund these departments, the need for police will diminish... because if we fund these departments we're preventing crisis," says Flores.
