Pleasanton police officers and sergeants are poised to receive pay raises and other incentives as part of a tentative labor deal struck with the city.
PLEASANTON — Pleasanton police have reached a tentative labor deal with the city that appears likely to end months of bitter contract negotiations and establish an incentive program for police to stay with the department long-term.
The deal would also establish a career-incentive program in the third year of the contract for officers with at least 15 years of law enforcement experience who have completed several years of special assignment work such as SWAT or drone assignments. The “Master Officer/Sergeant Program” would provide pay equal to 2% of an eligible employee’s base pay.
“Our members are ready to move on and get back to serving this great community,” said Jewell, speaking at a City Council meeting Sept. 19 when the terms of the agreement were laid out. “We cannot thank the community enough for their unwavering support of our officers and public safety.” Mayor Karla Brown and other members of the council suggested they would vote to approve the agreement. If approved, the starting salary for a Pleasanton police officer would be about $111,000, according to the tentative agreement.
