To All Upper Cumberland PBA Members |
|
|
I would like to take this opportunity to say
hello to all the members of the Upper Cumberland
Chapter of the Tennessee PBA. I look forward to
working with you to accomplish our goals. The
first thing I would like to do is express my
appreciation to Eric Hall for his leadership,
service and dedication to this chapter and for
the development of a solid local
organization. We have some exciting work ahead
of us all and with everyone's participation we
can be successful. As many of you know, the PBA
conducted a salary and benefit comparison for
Cookeville Police Dept and Putnam County
Sheriff's Dept. The City Council has received a
copy of the survey and we have formally
requested they consider our
recommendations. You may have seen a recent
Herald-Citizen article, but unfortunately only
part of the story was reported. We asked for a
$3500 increase in base salary for officers, a
$1250 increase in base salary for dispatchers,
extra pay for completion of 2-year and 4-year
degrees and finally a shift differential for 2nd
and 3rd shifts. We will continue to work with
the council to attain these goals. We will also
soon be working on recommendations to the County
Commission.
