OPELIKA, Ala. (WRBL) – The Opelika Police Department will soon become one of the highest-paid law enforcement agencies in the state of Alabama, according to Mayor Gary Fuller.


A historic vote at Tuesday night’s Opelika City council meeting means every Opelika Police Officer is getting a significant pay raise starting in November.


Tuesday night, Fuller and the city council unanimously approved an annual 1.2 million dollar pay and retirement increase for every sworn officer. Mayor Fuller says recruiting and retaining police officers is a problem across the country, and the pay increase was needed to provide the community with the best possible men and women for the job.


“We hire great people, to begin with, we train them we put them with experienced officers and train them and then we would get them trained, they would leave for other departments because of pay,” shared Fuller.


Mayor Fuller says beginning next month every sworn Opelika officer from top to bottom will see a significant pay increase.
