Laval and police brotherhood sign ‘bold' new collective agreement
The City of Laval and the Police Brotherhood signed a new collective agreement for the Laval Police Service on Friday—a deal Mayor Stéphane Boyer described as 'fairly bold, fairly innovative compared to other police forces.' The agreement, in principle, was ratified by 78 per cent of the police brotherhood's members. It includes the transfer of certain administrative duties to civilian staff, freeing up 20,000 additional investigative hours for police officers—at a lower cost to the city. The new contract also introduces the deployment of cadets across Laval to manage traffic, representing another salary-saving measure for the municipality. In terms of compensation, the agreement includes salary increases totalling 22.2 per cent over five years. This figure combines base wage hikes with 'urban security premiums' tied to the unique challenges officers face in large urban centres. The city also aimed to boost police presence on the streets to strengthen residents' sense of safety. In an interview, Mayor Boyer said he was particularly proud of the deal. 'What we were looking for was greater efficiency and more officers on the streets. This agreement allows us to achieve that. And in my view, it's quite a bold and innovative deal compared to other police forces—recovering thousands of hours of investigation and street presence. We're really pleased with the outcome, and I think it's going to be a win-win, both for the officers and for the public,' said Boyer. Sylvain Tardif, president of the Laval Police Brotherhood, also welcomed the new agreement, saying it 'recognizes the dedication and professionalism officers bring to their work every day in keeping Laval residents safe.' 'The new contract offers working conditions that reflect the growing responsibilities of our officers, who work in a complex environment and are facing an evolving and increasingly sophisticated criminal landscape,' Tardif added. Pierre Brochet, director of the Laval Police Service, also noted that the new agreement will allow police to 'fight crime more effectively, while ensuring a stronger presence in the community.' The collective agreement will be in effect from Jan. 1, 2024, to Dec. 31, 2028. This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on June 6, 2025. By Lia Lévesque, The Canadian Press
