After three years without raises, Compton police officers will begin getting bigger paychecks at the end of the month if the City Council gives final approval to a wage agreement already ratified by the police union.
City negotiators and the Compton Police Officers Assn., which represents about 90 patrol officers and sergeants, have agreed on a 2% raise as of Jan. 1 and a second pay hike of 3% in July. They also have agreed that the city-provided life insurance will be raised from $5,000 to $35,000.
