DETROIT (WXYZ) - Detroit Mayor Dave Bing has announced that the city has come to a tentative agreement with the police unions.
The agreement is another step forward as Detroit tries to reorganize the city's finances and prevent the appointment of an Emergency Manager.
The city recently announced it had come to an agreement with a coalition of unions representing most city employees. The police unions were not involved in that agreement.
In announcing the agreement Mayor Bing said, “The Police Unions and my administration have negotiated a tentative agreement which provides much needed savings, but does not sacrifice public safety.”
The Police Unions' membership must ratify the agreement before it can go into effect.
