Answer Preview 

According to the case, the major cause of turnover in the Tucson police in retirement. This reveals that the police officers are not leaving their jobs as a result of other better paying jobs. It is clear from the case that the city council has the ability of retaining and attracting police officers. Furthermore, the case also discloses that the council is able to attract candidates from out of state as well as other Arizona cities. This proofs that the council has been offering its police officers with attractive and competitive salaries. Currently, it is clear that Tucson budget is unable to handle an across the board pay hike for its police officers.  The case reveals that the pay hike might result to a long-term impact on the advances made by the city that has the ability to hike the crime rate in the entire city. Some of the least persuasive debates appears to justify the expensive city’s building and construction projects which the city has tackled. It is clear that these projects have drained the city’s budget, but this is not a convincing argument for not granting an across the board pay hike.
