The salary structure will be adjusted for certain officers who will join Durham Police after January 1, 2022 and for special forces officers. The new agreement, which renews collective agreements that expired at the end of 2019, also pays a bonus to front-line officers, «in recognition of the essential work these officers do,» the council said in a statement. Simply insulting the way our tax dollars are spent. I just wish a government official had the courage to lower the plant rate and reduce our taxes. Also, I think it`s a good idea to defund the police – allocating police funds to public relations and mental health will lead to better outcomes. Sworn officers and civilian workers employed by Durham Police have agreed to new contracts that will see their wages increase by nearly 11% within five years. RRPAD President Colin Goodwin also commented on the collective agreement. «The RPP has been able to secure significant increases in salaries and benefits for all members, sworn and civilian, and we have negotiated positive changes to our members` working conditions,» he explained. «Members` salaries will increase by 10.9 [percent] over five years. The salary structure will be adjusted from 2023 for gendarmes under 1st class who join the DRPS after January 1, 2022, and for members newly assigned to special forces such as robberies and murders. A new bonus will also be paid to police officers who perform front-line work, in recognition of the essential work these officers do,» according to a press release from the Police Services Board. In a statement, Chief Constable Bobbie Drew welcomed the new agreement. «We are very pleased to have been able to negotiate a settlement with the association that offers our members, similar to their peers in the province, compensation increases and provides the board with cost certainty for the next four fiscal years,» the statement said.
«We have also been able to identify areas where we can make savings in the future. This agreement is reasonable and fair to both workers and taxpayers. DURHAM: The Durham Regional Police Association (DRPA) has entered into a new five-year collective agreement with the Durham Regional Police Services Board. Anyway, the real reason the police get this kind of raise is because it`s a thug. Just like in the days of the mafia, today`s mafia is the government and the police are the paid law enforcement. Paid to protect and enforce at the request of their «mafia» leaders. The agreement was announced on Tuesday, March 23, replacing an earlier agreement that expired on December 31, 2019. The new agreements run from 2020 to 2024 and provide for a wage increase of 10.9%.
Thus, nurses are limited by the Ford government to 1% per year and the police receive 10.9%. The police are doing important work, but it is a slap in the face of nurses exposed to violence, shortages, Covid, etc. Probably because it is dominated by women, it is ignored by the government. Port Perry firefighters reached about 7% in 4 years last fall. The man dominated again. Offensive I think the police are worth every penny, firefighters are worth every penny. Emergency services are worth every penny. The shortage comes to nurses who have to fight for more than one percent. You face violence every day, you see what`s happening in emerg, it`s in the news every day, overdoses, suicide attempts, car accidents, that`s what it is.
If nursing was dominated by men, they would also get 10% over 4 years. Guess that the fire department will be the next to look for a big fat gain (if they haven`t already). They like to remind us that they have a hard job that is supposed to justify the increase. I`m sure they have a tough job, but the same goes for everyone who is trying to cope with expenses. Next year, you`ll hear about how the region needs to raise taxes to pay for it. In the meantime, those lucky enough to still have a job have frozen their wages. Remember that if a policy gives its officers a big raise. The rest of the province`s armed forces will follow.
According to the agreements, wages will increase by 10.9% within five years. The salary structure will be adjusted for lower-ranking first-class gendarmes who join the force after January 2022 and for members newly assigned to special forces such as robberies and killings from 2023, the council said. Durham Police have reached an agreement to renew collective agreements that expired at the end of 2019 and give members a salary increase of more than 10% over five years. «We have also been able to identify areas where we can save money in the future,» Drew said in a statement. «This agreement is reasonable and fair to both workers and taxpayers.» Wondering what impact this will have on our regional property tax rate? @John – you literally just described the work of a nurse in the emergency room. .
