The resolution, titled the Salary Schedule Changes for Non-Union, Uniformed Police Officials of the Metropolitan Police Department Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025, addresses the urgent need to adjust the salary schedules for non-union, uniformed police officials to ensure pay parity with their union counterparts. The Mayor has proposed that these changes be made retroactive to October 8, 2023, for Fiscal Year 2024, and subsequently for Fiscal Years 2025 and 2026. The resolution outlines the specific retroactive pay that current non-union, uniformed police officials will receive, while clarifying that these changes will not apply to former officials, except under certain conditions.

The Council of the District of Columbia recognizes the immediate necessity of these adjustments and the administrative actions required by the Department of Human Resources and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer to implement the new salary schedules. The resolution emphasizes the importance of prompt approval to ensure that non-union, uniformed police officials can receive their additional income in a timely manner. As such, the resolution is adopted on an emergency basis and takes effect immediately.
