Spartanburg raises pay for police officers Here s how and why

Spartanburg’s Police Chief Alonzo Thompson approached the city’s elected leaders in February and requested better pay for his officers a raise that hadn’t occurred since 2016.  Heads nodded in support behind the dais. It seemed for sure it would happen in the coming weeks to help a department that is currently ten officers short and has struggled with retention and recruitment as neighboring agencies pay better.  But then, the COVID-19 pandemic crept in and cast a dark cloud of financial uncertainty over residents, businesses and even government bodies. When the city council inked a more conservative budget in July, police raises weren’t a part of it as the city braced for the pandemic’s impacts.

Spartanburg extends mask law, one councilwoman asks if it s enough

As COVID-19 cases continue to spike throughout the Upstate, the city of Spartanburg will continue requiring masks inside grocery stores and pharmacies within city limits. But before the city council voted to extend that ordinance another 60 days, Councilwoman Meghan Smith asked city staff if they’ve explored stricter rules aimed at protecting the public from the virus. “I’ve grown increasingly more concerned, anxious, worried, over these numbers,” Smith said during Monday night’s council meeting. “We are seeing the results of Thanksgiving, and we have Christmas and New Year’s coming up. (We) find ourselves in a very difficult situation with the extremely limited jurisdictional tools we have in our toolbox as a small city government.”
