Police union contract/collective bargaining agreement (Liberal Police Department)

I am not sure exactly what you are requesting. The police department is not
represented by a union and there are no current contracts between employees
and the city.

To Whom It May Concern:

records:

A copy of the current collective bargaining agreement (also known as a
collective agreement or a union contract) between this department/agency
and the local police union/fraternal order/benevolent association (or
similar/equivalent organization). This includes any and all memorandums of
understanding or similar agreements. Please provide all associated
addendums, amendments, appendices, exhibits, and other supplemental and
supporting documents.
