The "Salary Schedule Changes for Non-Union, Uniformed Police Officials Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025" and its accompanying approval resolution seek to align the salaries of non-union uniformed police officials at the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) with those of their unionized counterparts. Proposed salary adjustments include a retroactive 4.5% increase for Fiscal Year 2024, a 4.25% increase for Fiscal Year 2025, and another 4.25% increase for Fiscal Year 2026, with the total cost estimated at $10.5 million for Fiscal Year 2026 and $27.3 million over the four-year financial plan. These changes are set to take effect on October 1, 2025, and will impact approximately 215 employees with an average salary of $146,078.

In addition to the salary increases, the resolution includes provisions for retention allowances and service longevity payments based on years of service, which will further enhance the overall compensation for eligible employees. The funding for these salary adjustments is confirmed to be adequate within the proposed budget, and the resolution aims to improve retention and morale among MPD personnel by ensuring competitive compensation. The Council of the District of Columbia is expected to review and approve these resolutions to support the financial well-being of police officials.
