April 24, 2023

NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams today released the following statement after the Police Benevolent Association (PBA) voted to ratify the contract agreement by an overwhelming majority, with 97.69 percent voting in favor of the contract. The contract will provide wage increases, retroactive to 2017 and going through 2025, ranging from 2.25 percent to 4.00 percent over the contract period, and provides a new pilot program that will allow officers to test working extended tours of 10- and 12-hour shifts:

“The men and women of the NYPD put their lives on the line each and every day to keep our city safe — and we’re proud that the PBA contract ratified today recognizes the unique contributions and sacrifices that members of service make on behalf of all New Yorkers. This contract offers fair wage increases, provides for greater flexibility for our officers, and boosts the salary schedule for starting officers to ensure they are fairly compensated. We thank Office of Labor Relations Commissioner Renee Campion and PBA President Pat Lynch for their relentless efforts to reach this historic agreement.”
