RAISES ARE ON THE WAY AT THE BERNALILLO COUNTY SHERIF’S DEPARTMENT. THIS COMES AS APD OFFICERS ARE STILL WAITING TO SEE IF THE CITY’S LATEST OFFER MADE IN NOVEMBER WILL RISE. OFFICERS CALLED THE CITY’S OFFER FOR A RAISE A “SLAP IN THE FACE.”
MEANWHILE, THE BERNALILLO COUNTY COMMISSION LAST (TUES) NIGHT APPROVED EIGHT PERCENT RAISES FOR DEPUTIES, SERGEANTS AND LIEUTENANTS WITH RETROACTIVE BACK PAY. THEY GET BACK PAY FROM JULY OF LAST YEAR ALONG WITH RETENTION BONUSES.
