A new collective bargaining agreement between the city and the Springfield Police Officers Association begins Thursday.
It was approved by City Council during their meeting Monday.
The agreement begins today and lasts until the end of June in 2024.
In the agreement, the starting pay for a Springfield Police Officer has risen to just over 46 thousand dollars a year up from a little more than 40 thousand.
The agreement is part of efforts to address recruiting and a staffing shortage.
