Plan for Higher Pay for Mounted Police and Substation Officers
The plan calls for mounting officers and substation staff who use sitlmobiles to receive a monthly salary of 110 dollars, with potential further increases. Current pay for mounted officers is 50 dollars and 8.50 for horse upkeep, with new pay aiming to align with foot patrolmen at 58.50. The city would shift to officers supplying their own gasoline and maintaining their vehicles, reducing fuel and repair costs. Additional regularization of 10 to 25 new officers is proposed, with probationary service before commissions.
