Impact analysis
Taxpayers are funding these hefty pay bumps, which cost more upfront but aim to save money in the long run by cutting down on constant overtime and costly retraining.
Local residents benefit from a more stable police force, and current officers benefit from higher paychecks.
Taxpayers footing the bill for the raises might feel a slight pinch, but no group is really harmed.
