## Resource

Lubbock just made a bold move: a six-year firefighter contract with massive pay raises, more hires, and a new 24-on-72-off schedule — positioning the department as top-tier in Texas. Police got a one-year deal too, with similar boosts. The cost? $15M for firefighters, plus $5M for police — but officials say it’s worth it for safety and morale. A new “lateral hiring” strategy will bring in seasoned pros faster. And with these deals locked in, future tax promises are off the table — because public safety is now the priority, and Lubbock’s community is behind it.
