The amount of overtime pay for St. Louis city and county police officers has added up to nearly $4 million in the weeks following the not guilty verdict against Jason Stockley.
St. Louis County Police said the cost of staff overtime since the protests began is nearing $1 million. City police estimate $2.9 million has been spent as of September 25.
St. Louis County officers were put on 12-hour shifts when the not guilty verdict in the Jason Stockley case was announced.
News 4 has also reached out to St. Louis City officials to find out their current overtime cost.
Perhaps the cop haters should rethink their tactics.
Maybe they need Baltimore’s mayor.................
The total FY2018 budget for the Police Department excluding
grants but including pension costs is $193.7M. This total
includes approximately $1.4M for matrix step increases in
pay for uniform and civilian employees of the department.
4 Million dollars in overtime, may or may not have been included in the operating budget, but, at the moment, it is 2% of the annual Police department budget.
The cops are there to protect the protesters.
That is far too complicated and critical thinking for that crowd
