In recent years, dozens of officers worked more than 1,000 hours of overtime annually. Experts say these levels of extra work can lead to accidents and poor decision making in use of force situations.

    3151 hrs of overtime.

    78.775 full-time 40 hour weeks there.

    So assuming 2 weeks of vacation, he somehow managed to work 128.775 weeks in a year?

    128.775/50 - let’s see how many work weeks he had to work each week to get there - 2.5755

    So each week he had to be working about 2.6 normal weeks, or about 103 hours a week.

    Assuming he worked 7 days each week, he was doing 14.7 hour shifts every day of those 50 weeks of working 7 days with no breaks.

    Hmm.

          I think you are a bit off with your assumptions. In California, overtime is earned either when you work more than 40 hours per week, OR more than 8 hours a day.

          So technically he could have for example worked three 24 hour shifts in a week, which would equal three 8 hour shifts (24 regular time hours) and three 16 hour overtime blocks (48h OT). 48 * 52 = 2,496 OT. He could have even been sleeping and on call while working that OT.

          Definitely poor management but not guaranteed fraud. The math is more nuanced.

      theres that doubletime, trippletime, quadrupletime and time and a half multipliers to factor in too. I think you for overtime past a 40 hour wk, past 8 hours day, on a holiday, with hazard pay you can pump it way way up. We should give the same to teachers.
