Civil Settlement Nets Pay Raises For KC Police Officers

In the spring of 2012, Sean McCauley and Morgan Roach, on behalf of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #99, filed suit against the City of Kansas City and the Board of Police Commissioners challenging the Board’s statutory authority to move its police officers to the City’s Health Care Trust. As a result of Sean’s negotiating, the parties subsequently reached a complex settlement which netted substantial pay increases for all rank and file members of the Kansas City Police Department.
