Brooklyn Center Police Wages

Taken from the Chief's weekly update:

"I would like to start this week’s update with a GREAT JOB to all. Our preliminary numbers for 2008 list a decrease in violent crime citywide by 7.24%. All categories of violent crime are down and we continue to see a significant decrease in auto theft. Arrest numbers are up by 63.66% for juveniles and 19.22% for adults. Part 1 Cleared by Arrest is also up by 22%. The data is the proof of all the hard work you do. Thank you."

I think the City Manager should take note and open up some reasonable wage negotiations ( for the busiest suburban department in Hennepin County)! There has been union discussion of collectively refusing senior officer pay (and S.O. duties) as well as F.T.O. responsibilities until we get a better contract. We will not accept the "We can't give you anything" approach.

Disappointed BC Officer!
