Decisions from the Dais

In a unanimous vote September 2, the Town of Huntersville Board of Commissioners approved a strategic pay increase for all sworn officers in the Huntersville Police Department (HPD), aimed at strengthening recruitment and retention efforts amid growing regional competition and rising cost-of-living pressures.

As a result of the vote, the starting salary for HPD officers will increase from $56,196 to $61,000. In addition to raising the entry-level salary, the Town will also implement a $4,800 pay increase for all current sworn officers to maintain internal equity and avoid compression in the department’s pay scale. This will take effect on Oct. 3, 2025.
