Police making over $100,000 in overtime pay but don't catch no criminals.

@OperationChicago

One day people will see that crime pays.

@FutureNurseBriNikki

Are they hiring ??

@user-qt3my1xv8d

Don’t look at the money that being used for overtime. Look at the government money that in the billions from taxes. Where’s that money going to

@phillipmarlowe0525

Why isn’t the water department address the amount of absenteeism????

@Cameron_craft

They working while they sleep watching tv and going back to sleep 😂

@Highclasshillbilly

Nobody wants to be a cop in Chicago , so what did you expect?

@davidmirandajr

Cops park up in front of my house for lots of hours doing nothing but i gurss theyre on the clock

@Mangas24

That’s what happens when you can not fill the spots!

@rubenrocha9641

I bet it's the same cops I see sleeping in their patrol vehicle on Chicago Ave...

No wonder taxes are so high 😒

@frankreyes4

The short staffing is saving so much $$$ by not hiring, and the overtime to fill work is cheaper, according to to an independent CPA that works with the comptroller’s office

@MB-el1ve

Nothing new. Chicago magazine published about 10 years ago that 2/3 of city’s employees earned at least $100k between salary and overtime.

@TheZombaslaya

Good for them!

@mattbailey6933

Democrat policies ran employees off, you can't treat people like trash then complain about the bill you caused.

@TaylorBoldt-lq9fw

It’s easier to let them make the overtime then hiring new employees and offering the health care, salary, pension ect…

@Fire_in_the_Hole_Chiraq

Hire more cops! Recall Johnson!!!

@mixinmorley

So! Good for them!

@MrBobochow

The Mayor doesn’t comment on budget items okay ✅

@bowmadness1333

It's actually a cost savings to the city to pay overtime to employees, for example...... Police officer average salary (regular patrolman) being $89,000 plus vacation, personal days, medical and city paying into officer pension. The city is down 2,000 police officers so most of the overtime is filling a void. So take into account the overall total monetary cost per officer vs overtime cost, it's still a significant savings to the city not to mention the bigger picture is it's one less officer the city has to pay many years of pension payments to after retirement. Imagine that cost savings. Makes you look at it differently now doesn't it? But it makes for a great news story.
