CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - The City has reached a tentative agreement on a new contract with the union that represents Chicago police officers.
A tentative four-year contract agreement will provide officers a 20% raise and double annual pay raises in 2024 and 2025 to 5%.
Also noteworthy, the contract reportedly mentions closed door proceedings for serious misconduct cases.
“With this agreement in place, our administration can now direct our full focus on implementing accountability measures within the Chicago Police Department, supporting police offices, and a robust community safety agenda,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson.
The contract would provide police officers with a new paid parental leave policy, the mayor’s office noted, and also introduce a new homicide investigation team.
City Council approval is required for the agreement to take effect.
