PIERRE, (KCCR) — The Pierre City Commission has approved an across the board pay increase for members of the Pierre Police Department. Mayor Steve Harding says Pierre isn’t the only city dealing with trying to maintain law enforcement staffing numbers….
Harding proposed raising pay in the Department for multiple reasons…
Commissioner Jamie Huizenga says the city hasn’t been competitive with pay, especially with state and federal law enforcement based in Pierre…
Pierre’s police officers are not unionized therefore the city can make the adjustment without the change needing ratification by an employee union.
