APD COULD END UP WITH A CASH INFUSION IF A PROPOSAL BEING INTRODUCED AT MONDAY NIGHT'S CITY COUNCIL MEETING BECOMES REALITY. IT WOULD BOOST FUNDING BY JUST UNDER 2 AND-A-HALF MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR FOR POLICE PAY RAISES, RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION.
COUNCILOR DON HARRIS SAYS THE GOAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO GROW THE FORCE TO 11 HUNDRED OFFICERS…BUT EVEN THAT MAY NOT BE ENOUGH GIVEN THE CITY'S GROWTH. HARRIS SAYS THE EXACT MONEY FIGURE WOULD HAVE TO BE NEGOTIATED BETWEEN THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND THE POLICE UNION.
