COLUMBUS, Ohio City council has approved a three-year year contract between Columbus and the Fraternal Order of Police.
The contract was approved by members of the Capital City Lodge #9 through a vote that ended Sunday.
“This is the most progressive contract in a generation,” said Mayor Andrew J. Ginther. “Through good faith collective bargaining since late last year, we crafted a contract that provides an incentive for longtime officers to retire, rewards officers committed to service, change and reform, and attracts new, more diverse candidates to join our efforts to reform policing in Columbus.”

The union representing 1,900 Columbus police officers have approved a tentative new contract with the city that includes a 14% pay raise over the next three years, a union official confirmed Sunday.
The voting took place over several days last week and was tabulated late Saturday evening, said Keith Ferrell, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Capitol City Lodge No. 9.
He said the union would not elaborate further - including releasing the vote totals - until after the deal also is approved by the City Council, the last hurdle remaining. However, Ferrell texted The Dispatch early Sunday that his members had overwhelmingly approved the contract.
