Additionally, high-ranking officers will receive a boost to their health benefits.
38 new LAPD officers arrive for their graduation ceremony at the Police Academy Friday, January 17, 2020. The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday, April 2, extended its contract with the Los Angeles Police Department’s high-ranking officers, which was set to expire June 29.
Council members Nithya Raman, Eunisses Hernandez, and Hugo Soto-Martinez voted against the contract. Council members Bob Blumenfield, Kevin de León, Curren Price and Katy Yaroslavsky were absent during the vote. Raman, Hernandez and Soto-Martinez previously voted against pay increases to LAPD officers, citing concerns with the city’s budget and priorities.
According to city officials, the main area of compaction focused on base wages between lieutenants and captains. Previously, the difference between those categories was about 4% between each class, but it eroded with the increase in lieutenant pay. It needed to be adjusted so that the difference would be 10% between lieutenants and top staff and captains, officials said.
