DURANT, OK – Durant Police signed onto many positive changes for the department and the city Wednesday. The Durant Fraternal Order of Police signed a three year contract with the city Wednesday morning.
The contract will give all uniformed officers a 4% pay raise and improve some of the working conditions within the department.
Durant Police say that city manager Jim Dunegan, who is an ex-police officer himself, was integral to the smooth negotiations.
"It gave all the officers a very nice pay raise and it helped with some working conditions we have within the department, and the city made it very easy for us to achieve this," Capt. Chris Cicio of the Durant Police Department said.
Captain Cicio also says that because negotiations went so smoothly, this is the first time in over 16 years that the city's contract with the Fraternal Order of Police has been signed before the July 1st signing deadline.
