I. League Police & Fire Contract Negotiation Tools Available
Could different contract provisions increase efficiency in your fire services? Is there a way to provide more effective policing, while lowering costs?

The answers to these questions can help you to better serve the interests of your local residents and businesses, and many of those answers can be found through the League’s Police and Fire Labor Data Service.

Selected provisions and salary scales are provided in Microsoft Excel files, allowing you to easily search and sort through information as it best applies to your municipality.
