The Jaffrey Select Board has approved 2.5 percent raises for police for the next two years.
During its meeting Tuesday evening, the board approved a three-year collective bargaining contract for the town’s police officers, which includes set pay increases for 2022 and 2023.
Police salaries are expected to stay at current levels for 2021, according to Town Manager Jon Frederick, as police already received a 2 percent pay increase at the start of the year. The contract ratified by Selectmen Tuesday guarantees a 2.5 percent increase for the next two years for the force.
The union contract includes all non-probationary members of the police force excluding the police chief and lieutenant. Excluding the chief and lieutenant, the department currently has 11 full time and two part time employees.

Peterborough and Jaffrey Select Boards are moving ahead with a formalized agreement to build and share a water plant on the Jaffrey border.
The plant is to be built on the property known as Cold Stone Spring, and its total cost is estimated at $12.6 million, with Peterborough responsible for a $7.7 million portion, and Jaffrey $4.9 million.
Both towns have already gotten approval from town voters for the project, which will purchase a property on the Jaffrey and Sharon town line with three certified drinking wells already dug. The towns have agreed to share the cost of building a water treatment facility on the property, and individually shoulder the cost of connecting it to their own water systems.
