Police Officers Seek Pay Rise Amid Harsh Duty
Quincy police officers petitioned the city for a 25 percent wage increase, arguing their dangerous, hourlong night shifts and low pay of $2.42 a day are inadequate. Finance committee hints at possible raises, likely 10 to 15 percent, but not full 25. Officers vow to continue guarding the public despite tough conditions and outdated equipment while facing rising costs and long hours.
