Aurora Police Officers To Get $10,000 In Retention Bonuses
AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) -- In Aurora, city council members voted to pay out an additional $8,000 in retention bonuses to each of the City's police officers.
Officers will receive $4,000 in April and another $4,000 in October. That's on top of the $2,000 bonus already planned for all city employees.
That makes a total of $10,000 for every Aurora police officer next year. This is part of an effort to keep more officers on staff.
Aurora lost more than 100 aurora officers this year-- about 15% of the force.
The bonuses will use about $6 million of the money the city received from the Federal American Rescue Plan Act.
