The Chad Hasty Show, Brandon Price and Josh Reid from the Lubbock Professional Police Association joined the broadcast to talk about the urgent need to increase pay for officers on the Lubbock Police Department force.
Price and Reid described the pay disparity between officers in in other, even smaller cities in Texas, and Lubbock (which continues to have a much higher crime rate), and the many negative effects of not increasing Lubbock officers pay, which includes the continual loss of more experienced officers, and wasted taxpayer dollars spent on recruiting and training officers who very quickly leave the force.
