Arlington police officers are getting bonuses with the help of state money.
The County Board approved $229,961 for the one-time bonuses on Saturday from funding through the 2020 state budget bill signed into law in November. It’s part of approximately $7.5 million distributed to police departments across Virginia.
“The purpose of this bonus is to focus on the retention of qualified employees along with acknowledging the outstanding work these sworn personnel perform for the residents of Arlington County,” a county staff report said, echoing comments from the state Department of Criminal Justice Services director.
The money, which will help fund a previously-approved $900 bonus for each officer, is to be paid out by June 30 to all sworn employees of the Arlington County Police Department. As of May 5, the department had 336 employees eligible for the bonus, according to the staff report.

Morono captured his performance of the night bonus after he knocked out Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in the first round of their welterweight co-main event. Morono stunned Cerrone with a ducking overhand right before following up with a barrage of strikes that ultimately led to referee Marc Coddard stopping the bout with 20 seconds left in the first round.
