[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t realize Mayor-elect Mamdani has a plan to eliminate the NYPD overtime budget. That would have a substantial economic impact on every one of the NYPD’s 34,000 officers. Officers would, and should leave if the mayor actively takes money from them. As officers leave, the burden of policing NYC falls on a smaller force. Why would officers work overtime to make up for the departures if they aren’t going to get overtime pay?

Overtime isn't an entitlement. The NYPD budget is enormous and bloated. Cuts ought to start somewhere.[/quote]

Overtime is coded slavery. Most of that money goes to taxes. It’s better to have weekends at home with your family and getting decent pay for 40 hours/week then working overtime as if that’s something to brag about. America is so behind Europe and Canada when it comes to work life balance [/quote]

Yeah right.  Overtime is awful, does not pay, and is totally not abused by cops.    https://abc7ny.com/post/nypd-lt-quathisha-epps-sheds-light-departments-overtime-abuse-scandal-exclusive-interview/16009777

Read that and go away.[/quote]
