• Fla. city reaches 'historic' police pay deal, aims to add new positions (police1.com subscription) — Coral Gables gets a brief mention as one of the higher-paying agencies luring Hialeah's police and firefighters, prompting Hialeah to propose a 'historic' pay raise deal to keep officers from leaving. The tentative agreement would boost salaries up to 30% over three years and add new positions, but still needs city council approval as officials weigh costs and a possible homestead exemption change.
