A new casino will open on Gila River Indian Community land south of Chandler, the tribe recently announced.
This will be the tribe’s fourth casino, allowed based on Arizona Native American tribes’ newly negotiated tribal compact with the state. Before, the Gila River Indian Community was allowed three casinos, which it operates at Wild Horse Pass and Lone Butte in Chandler and Vee Quiva in Laveen.
The new casino will be on community trust land south of Gilbert Road and Hunt Highway, outside Chandler’s southern border. The casino is expected to open in one and a half to two years.
The city is hiring police officers, detention officers and dispatchers.
Communications Director Matt Burdick says the city is offering financial incentives to attract police officers from other jurisdictions, for up to $5,000. A new recruit to the Police Department, as a police officer, would be eligible for $3,500.
He says Chandler is trying to stay competitive with other agencies around the country. Burdick says the Police Department expects it will need to hire 40 officers over the next year due to upcoming retirements and adding new positions.
The annual salary for a Chandler police officer starts at $26 an hour.
