Tom Jewell, Special to cleveland.comSHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio -- City Council approved a new three-year police contract Monday (Sept. 29). It is part of an ongoing effort to keep qualified officers right where they are and prevent the city from becoming a “training ground” for other departments. Hudson added that negotiations continue on a separate contract for roughly a dozen “gold unit” officers in the higher ranks at the department.
