The Salt Lake City Council is going to have a final public hearing on June 4 about the city’s budget. During discussions on the budget, and negotiations with the Salt Lake City Police Association, it appears that the Council will approve the recommended 2% salary increase and a 2% increase in starting wages, along with a 6% increase at 12 years of service for police officers.
A further analysis that includes the recent International Association of Chiefs of Police study and Matrix’s 911 dispatch center audit shows that the proposed police salary increase will not result in the recommended officers for Salt Lake City.
