While the City reports increases in almost every area of revenue and the City Manager sits before the City Council bragging about the millions of dollars that we the employees are saving, we continue to lose Police Officers at a rate faster than we can fill the vacancies.

Many, many times during the last budget cycle POSA warned the City Council, City Manager and City Treasurer, if you don't raise Police Officer compensation YOU WILL LOSE OFFICERS. Unfortunately, our pleas were ignored.

Every year in September we stop and celebrate the Labor Day holiday with our families and friends with picnics, vacations and neighborhood cookouts, but do we stop to think about why we celebrate Labor Day?  Do most of us even remember what Labor Day commemorates?   Labor Day was enacted as a Federal holiday in 1894 as way of reconciliation with the labor movement after a particularly bloody end to a strike. 

The Valley of the Sun Exchange Clubs Foundation in conjunction with the City of Tempe will host the annual Memorial Healing Field. The Police Officers of Scottsdale Association has been a strong supporter and sponsor of this event annually.
