Most Dallas police officers and firefighters are officially getting a 10 percent raise. Without much fanfare or discussion, the Dallas City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved a three-year police and fire salary agreement. After months of back-and-forth, city leaders and the police and fire associations negotiated a three-year contract in November. Council members approved the city's budget in September that included money for the raises. "We moved the needle around $20 million to make sure they're treated fairly," said council member Rickey Callahan of the pay agreement.
