BELLMEAD, TX â Competition for public safety officers will get tougher in Central Texas as Bellmead will begin offering incentive pay for experienced officers.
Officers will get $1,500 for signing a 2-year contract with the city of Bellmead and another $1,500 after completing their field training a few months later.
Bellmead leaders believe this will help them recruit and retain experienced officers on its streets.
Youâll remember last fall, Bellmead boosted pay for police and fire employees, doubling down, as many cities started cutting police budgets.
