Sheriffs Deputy made $2.2 million by clocking 100 hours a week

[Anonymous]

Exhibit 1,000,000 of the fact that many police departments are criminal organizations.

In my hometown, more than 30 cops were recently arrested for systematically violating citizens' civil rights and actively engaging in tons of crime -- stuff like acting as muscle for drug dealers.

pretty good annual take for a cop - he's almost in law firm associate territory, except he has to deal every day with all the people no one else wants to deal with

good for him - I agree

That's the rude way to refer to the clerks at Krispy Kreme who I have found to be consistently charming.

Wonder if the city comes out ahead. He was doing the work of 2 1/2 employees over 7 years.

Looks like the city breaks even or saves money on the salary and is way ahead on the benefits. 2 and 1/2 officers for 100 hours a week or 1 officer.

So the city pays less benefits because he takes less vacation? And of course he's not 2-3 extra officers with 2-3 extra dependents using the health plan...supporting 1 person instead of 9 people makes sense.

Years ago I lived in San Francisco and had jury duty. The Sheriffs Office is responsible for parishioners who are on trial. While on lunch - the individual broke out of their cell and was trying to "escape". They caught them on the roof top.
The Sheriffs response (on the news) they should secure emergency exit doors.
My thought - maybe they should be doing their jobs?

315k per year in overtime

26,190 per month in overtime
----------------------------------------------------

He isn't alone. At least two deputies made over 530k per year. A SF nurse made 513k in 2022.

42 SF city employees worked over 2,000 hours of overtime (equating to nearly 39 hours of overtime each week). Essentially working 16 hour days.

They live in SF, I think those salaries don't go as far as one might think

It’s another way that police are corrupt and everyone in the police knows it’s happening, it’s one of the ‘perks’ of the job to which they are entitled, they think.

It is also interesting listening to Navy pilots talking about how they touch down in various places to refuel and how it impacts their comp.

This isn't a thing.

Doubt the officers in question live in SF. They maybe have a crash pad in the city, but family will be out in the hinterlands. SF cops don't want to live in SF.

How in the world do people not think there was serious gaming here? I guarantee no one works those hours for so many years, it is almost certainly padding. This is sad because I work hard for my money and seeing people gaming the system just makes fools of honest people.

+1 this was my thought as well. It should be easy for the IG's office to figure out if he materially misrepresented his hours.

I know someone who works for SFPD and they said they are very short staffed but they are in no rush to hire because they all get overtime making their salaries many times over what they should be.

My father an Army Officer use to fly around DC every few months to meet his flight hour requirements. He was stationed at the Pentagon and would fly out of that field by Fort Belvoir.

Have you never met nursing home staff? Many of them work 2 8 hour shifts per day 6-7 days per week. And they aren’t banking a million doing it. There are a lot of people working two FT jobs to make ends meet. This guy is lucky because he’s doing it both for the same employer so he’s effectively getting paid for 2.5 FT jobs, and at a pretty good rate.

Unfortunately a lot of police departments are now requiring crazy OT because they are so understaffed.
