The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which was ratified by our membership last December 2011, is being finalized to be presented to the City of Baltimore's Board of Estimates for approval. In the meantime, all police officers, sergeants, and lieutenants may begin to utilize the LTO-Days (Lost Time Off) negotiated by the FOP to make up for the lost wages from last year. As the vacation book goes around, members may use three (3) LTO-Days between now and June 30, 2012 and the other two (2) LTO-Days may be used between July 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012. |

The FOP would like to thank all our members who took the time to vote today and we also want to recognize the FOP Labor Committee who worked to reach an agreement with the City of Baltimore. Finally, we want to thank Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and her team for their understanding and professionalism. |
