September 11th, 2025 Big news out of Addison PD! On Tuesday, September 9, the Addison City Council approved a newly adopted step plan for police officers, marking a major shift in how pay will be structured moving forward. What’s Changing? Previously, officer pay in Addison was set within a range and largely determined by merit. While this system rewarded performance, it also left some uncertainty about long-term pay progression. The newly approved step plan replaces that approach with a structured, transparent path for salary increases. Officers will now advance through set pay steps, providing greater predictability and stability throughout their careers. Why It Matters For current officers, the step plan offers security and a clearer vision of their earning potential. For prospective officers, it makes Addison PD a more attractive department to join, with guaranteed progression built into the pay scale. The step plan also makes it easier to compare Addison PD with other departments in the region that already use similar pay structures. This transparency is a valuable tool for both officers considering a move and new recruits deciding where to start their careers. When It Starts The new step plan will officially go into effect on October 1, 2025, aligning with the start of the new budget year. This is a significant investment by the City of Addison in both its police department and the future of public safety in the community.
