Adams is expected to announce the contract with the Police Benevolent Association at 11 a.m. at City Hall with Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell and union officials.
Mayor Eric Adams struck a tentative deal with the largest police union — approving a pay increase to rank-and-file cops and upping officers’ starting salary by more than $10,000.
Adams and NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell will join union officials at City Hall on Wednesday to announce the first new contract with the Police Benevolent Association at City Hall to celebrate since 2017, The Post has learned. The police department has struggled to attract and retain cops over the last few years, which many have argued was due to the low pay compared to surrounding agencies.
The deal, which still has to be approved by the members of the union, would start rookies off at $55,000, up from $42,500 currently, according to details obtained by The Post.With overtime, cops with five years on will be capped at $130,802.Cops will also get back pay for the out-of-contract years:
