NYPD sergeants earning less than some of the police officers they supervise are urging Mayor Eric Adams to renegotiate their contract.

The Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) last spoke with the city Office of Labor Relations in August, just weeks before City Hall descended into chaos with federal agents targeting top members of the Adams administration in a series of raids.

“They feel as if they’ve been abandoned,” said SBA President Vincent Vallelong of the 1,243 sergeants currently making less than about 18,000 police officers.

Under the current salary structure, sergeants earn about $98,000 until they reach top pay of approximately $118,000, a process which can take approximately five years. Meanwhile, some rank-and-file cops are racking upwards of $115,000 a year, the union told the New York Post.

Further complicating the pay structure is a contract technicality that’s left newly-promoted sergeants making more than those who were promoted earlier. The new sergeants are allowed to go right to the top pay after paying their dues.
