Yale and Police Union Finalize Contract Agreement

I am pleased to announce that Yale University and the Yale Police Benevolent Association have reached a new contract agreement that continues to promote the safety and security of the Yale campus.

Since the police union’s last contract expired, Yale has worked diligently to come to this new agreement, which provides generous pay — among the best in the state — along with outstanding and enhanced benefits. The contract, which will be in effect until June 30, 2028, was ratified by the YPBA on October 15. The university will begin implementing the contract’s new terms as soon as possible.

The agreement is the result of extensive and thoughtful negotiations by all involved and reflects a fair balance of interests while also achieving long-term sustainability for the university. From the outset, the university’s priority has been protecting the safety and well-being of our students, faculty, staff, and visitors. This contract achieves that.

Yale has a deep appreciation for its dedicated and professional campus police officers and the critical role they play in prioritizing the safety of our community. The university looks forward to continuing its strong partnership with our officers in service to the Yale community and maintaining the highest standards of public safety on campus.

Sincerely,

Joe Sarno
Head of Union Management Relations
