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.
Lubbock Professional Police Association Calls For Higher Wages
Is a pay increase needed for the Lubbock Police Department?
The Lubbock Professional Police Association, also known as the LPPA, has started a campaign to increase the wages of Lubbock Police Officers. The Lubbock Professional Police Association is asking the City of Lubbock to increase the pay of officers during the current budget talks.
According to the Lubbock Professional Police Association, local officers at the Lubbock Police Department are paid an average of 14% lower than officers in comparable cities.
Not only are Lubbock Police Officers facing lower pay, but according to a press release they are also dealing with higher crime and more gangs and gang members. Both the categories of murder and Aggravated Assault crimes were up in 2020. According to the Lubbock Professional Police Association, better pay will mean better retention of officers and a pay bump can be achieved without a tax increase.
