Some officers in the New York City Police Department (NYPD) are almost doubling their annual salaries by collecting overtime amid the city's skyrocketing violent crime.
Overtime costs for the department broke records in 2020, when officers clocked in more overtime than any other major city in the United States. One precinct in Brooklyn doled out $7.8 million in overtime.
Most officers logged approximately 375 hours in overtime during fiscal year 2020, though around 500 officers managed to get paid for 1,000 overtime hours.
