Metro Council Approves Pay Raises For Baton Rouge Police Department

The East Baton Rouge Parish Metro Council has approved pay raises for officers of the Baton Rouge Police Department.

On Tuesday, the Metro Council voted for a 3% raise for the officers and voted for the department to have four deputy chiefs instead of three.

This is the first raise officers have had since 2015, when all city-parish employees got a 2% pay increase.

Following the announcement, BRPD Chief Murphy Paul said he was excited about the council's decision.
