In Sierra Madre, California the police officers’ union is asking voters to give officers a increase in pay. The Sierra Madre Police Officers Association has compiled 1,7167 signatures qualifying them for the ballot in November. The initiative is called “Prioritizing Public Safety” and it would increase the police pay by 20 percent. In the surrounding departments, Sierra Madre is paid the least coming after South Pasadena police.
I feel that the police should be paid more. They work long hours to protect the residents of their city. It’s very smart of them to have a petition signed. I think South Pasadena police should do the same because out city would support the raise.

I think that police officers should get paid more. They work long hours and most of the time protect people. not only do they protect people but the also have a chance of getting hurt themselves, so yes I do think police officers should get paid more.
I think whatever they are getting paid is not enough and they really do deserve more money. But I have to ask where the money is going to come from. There have been buget cuts all over the place, so what will be giving up this time?
I do agree that they deserve better pay for securing our community, but these police officers are petitioning only for their benefits. Why would they get a raise for prioritizing public safety? Isn't it the job of the police to promote public safety? I think in order for this to get passed, the police unions need a better arguement for why they need an increase income for 20%.
I agree the police officers do deserve a raise. What they do is hard work. They protect us and try to make our city safe. This raise is a great way to show that we acknowledge all them and all there hardwork and efforts.
I don't agree. Polices in South Pasadena and Sierra Madre don't have as much of a job as other cities who have more crimial records.
