And they wonder why this City is broke.

There's a ton of overtime to TPD.  The leader on the list of officers just about doubled his base salary.  Curious how they monitor the overtime issue to prevent abuse.

I also found an old gem from TNF:

The name Darin Flak rang a bell, I thought he was the putz that got arrested for pulling a gun in a bar at 18th in Boston.  Different guy.

It really just gripes my donkey that my Dad retired Sergeant in the Homicide Detective Division in 1979 and had to moonlight as Security for Hillcrest Hospital to make ends meet for a family of 7. We hardly ever saw him. And these guys today are making upwards and over a Hundred Thousand a Year.
And I don't want to hear about the cost of living increase or the rise in the crime level of today's drug addled society. They're way overpaid and still want more and more from a City whose tax sales have dropped to where it can't pay 700 plus salaries at 45 Thousand and up.
A Hundred and Five for good ol Dookie when Cathy didn't want any pay. Missed the boat on that one. But that wouldn't have been a little more than OT for two officers anyway.
I don't care what you do. Making over six figures living in good ol Oklahoma is as great a living as you could possibly want to have. Who needs two incomes.

I understood overtime pay essentially equal to base pay was a department-wide norm.
