Shreveport approves pay raises for city employees in 2027 budget

(The Center Square) - Shreveport police officers, firefighters and other city employees are set to receive pay increases in December as part of the city's proposed 2027 budget. Shreveport City Council unanimously approved a 3% pay increase for classified city employees, effective Dec. 1. The two resolutions passed included additional pay adjustments for more than 400 employees starting Jan. 1, 2027, as well as 6% base-pay increases for police officers and firefighters.
