Tempe Police Officers
benefit from a "Pay Step" program wherein they receive
annual increases. Working in partnership with City
Leaders and the Police Department Command Staff, the
Tempe Officers Association entered into a contractual
agreement that guarantees Tempe Police Officers will
remain in the top-tier of pay for police officers across
the state. In July 2007, Tempe Police Officers
received an across-the-board raise (greater than 10%),
taking our starting salary from $48,925 to $54,010!
Keep in mind this "base pay" does not include overtime,
holiday pay, or shift differential.
