Learn moreAustin Chamber Issues Statement on New Proposed Police Contract
Today, the Austin Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors voted to support the tentative agreement between the City of Austin and the Austin Police Association for a new, five-year police contract. Improving public safety has been a top priority for our organization, and we have long advocated for a new contract that will enhance the City’s overall safety efforts. This long-term agreement includes critical investments in our police workforce that will help retain officers and improve the Austin Police Department’s (APD) efforts to recruit new cadets. With APD facing a shortage of over 300 sworn officers, this agreement will provide the stability and confidence needed for the Department to close this gap.
