      LAPD budget for 2025: $2.14 billion. Works out to just over $41 million a week.

      Being that they are already on salary I assume, I wonder how much it really was “more than normal”.

        I can’t find a good resource for the exact pay formula they use, but cops are definitely eligible for overtime pay, which has apparently blown out their budget to the extent that the city is taking out a $17m loan to pay them (arc)

        Cops are typically paid hourly and not on salary. They have to collect that sweet, sweet overtime.

          Ah I figured they would have ranked pays like the military because of their unions, sounds like it must be more like teachers wages vary within their unions as well. I’ve never wanted to be a cop, so I never watched how their pay scales

      This is all overwhelmingly what Trump wants. He hates my entire state (California).
