Council ratifies successor police contract with International Brotherhood of Police Officers for 2025–2028

A councilor moved and the council approved a successor agreement between the town of Worcester and the International Brotherhood of Police Officers for the period July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2028.

"Motion to ratify the successor agreement between the town of Worcester and the International Brotherhood of Police Officers for the period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028," a councilor said when offering the motion. The motion was seconded and then put to a vote. Councilors Burlington, Wasik, Greenough, Stewart and Brengi each answered "I" when the chair called for the vote; the transcript records five affirmative responses and no recorded opposition or abstentions.

The item as spoken in the meeting made no reference to the dollar values, staffing changes, or specific contract language; those details were not specified in the transcript. The council did not record any separate amendments, and no public comments about the agreement appear in the captured segments. The motion appears to have been a formal ratification of the agreement as presented to the council.

The agreement covers the dates listed above and was described in the motion as the successor agreement between the town of Worcester and the International Brotherhood of Police Officers. The transcript does not specify who moved or seconded the motion by name, so the motion is attributed to a councilor and the seconder is identified only as a councilor in the record.
