Seattle City Council Approves New Police Contract in 8-1 Vote, Making Officers Highest Paid in State
May 14, 2024, 10:28 PM
On May 14, the Seattle City Council voted 8-1 to ratify a new contract with the Seattle Police Officers Guild, making Seattle police the highest paid in the state. The contract includes large raises and significant backpay for officers who have been without a wage increase since 2021. Despite the approval, some council members, including Tammy Morales who voted against it, expressed concerns about accountability and whether a federal judge will be satisfied with the terms. Council member Rob Saka called it a 'good first step.' Seattle Mayor has signed the new contract. SPOG president Mike Solan was present at the vote.
