GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Greensboro City Council approved the $751.3 million budget for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Wednesday.
The proposed budget supports the goal of attracting qualified candidates for recruitment while retaining the experienced, knowledgeable, and veteran officers currently serving the City of Greensboro.
With the support of Greensboro City Manager Taiwo Jaiyeoba, leadership within the City Manager's Office, City Council, and the community, the starting salary for Greensboro Police Officers will increase by more than 18% from $46,367 to $55,000 per year.
As a result, all officers will see an increase in their respective salaries. The approved 2023-2024 starting salary is supported by compensation market data and enables the Greensboro Police Department (GPD) to be competitive with surrounding agencies.
This is a historic raise for the GPD and makes the starting salary one of the most competitive compared to similar cities and agencies in North Carolina.
