Last week the Fort Worth city council approved the raise which will cost about $47 million dollars over a four-year period. The salary bump brings Fort Worth’s police pay closer to the metroplex median and average. Officers who have been with the department for less than 6 years will earn about 12% more. Those who are more experienced will earn about 10% more. The new salary schedule takes effect in October.
