Seattle City Council member Tammy Morales is advocating for her colleagues to delay Tuesday’s vote regarding the long-negotiated contract with the city’s police officers.
“We haven’t had a single public hearing on this contract and this is absolutely not something that should be rushed,” Morales said., would make the Seattle Police Department one of the highest-paid police forces in the region with a 23% retroactive raise. The 23% raise is made up of a 1.3% raise for 2021, a 6.4% raise for 2022 and a 15.3% raise for 2023 as back pay.
However, critics of the contract believe the city will get no meaningful accountability requirements. Police accountability has been a focal point of contention between the guild and city officials. SPOG has faced criticism from police reform advocates, who claim the union exerts too much influence over officer accountability and discipline procedures.
