The SDPD has accepted a contract which offers a nine percent basic pay raise for most officers and a re-formulation of how the city pays for health benefits. City police have not received a pay raise for almost three years. More officers left SDPD in 2006 than in the previous five years combined. 25 left the force in just one month in 2007.
