Dunkirk Pays $2,370 for Police Officer Physical Testing, Drafting Retention Contract
From the Dunkirk Board of Works meeting on June 22, 2026
The Dunkirk Board of Works approved $2,369.79 for a new police officer's physical agility testing.
The cost prompted a broader discussion about officer retention. A previous officer completed the testing at city expense and then left the department before starting, leaving Dunkirk to absorb the cost. The board is now drafting a contract requiring future officers to commit to a minimum two-year service period, with a repayment provision if they leave early.
