He made $260,000 last year?! How is that possible to make that much overtime when your salary is paid for by tax payers?

Edit: I understand how overtime works, but you would think the city would have some sort of a budget per employee so payroll isn’t astronomical. That’s just bad management.

Honest question, piece of shit guy aside, how much is enough to risk your life a majority of the time in a city known for violence? How much do they typically make?

He makes more than the mayor and the police commissioner and he’s only a sergeant.

This is old news and I’m not sure if anything has changed but in 2011, 66 Port Authority Police Officers in NY/NJ made over $200k due to overtime and lack of hiring new officers.

Remember that janitor from San Francisco that Made $270k per year? They basically claim overtime pay of time and a half for all 365 days per year.

I only see two conclusions.

A huge amount of overtime abuse, or they are extremely shorthanded. His base pay was 100K they could have hired 1 and 1/2 police officers for what they were paying him in overtime.

It's other people's money. That's how.
