      A lot of them do. Pretty common tactic is to save the paperwork from the day till the very end of the day, “whoa it’s me I have all of this paperwork to do” and then just rake in the overtime.

      This dude likely abused the system more but it’s not like it’s that odd.

    Lieutenant Timothy Dolan, a 26-year veteran who leads the traffic unit and serves as vice president of the OPOA police union, was paid $493,247 in overtime in 2024. Combined with his salary and other pay, this netted him a $711,000 paycheck, making him OPD’s highest-paid employee — a title he’s held for several years now. His pay was almost double that of the chief of police and nearly three times the mayor’s paycheck. His total compensation, including pension and healthcare benefits, was $879,000.

    Dolan spent over 800 hours of overtime in 2024 reviewing collision reports — the equivalent of about five months of work in a normal full-time job. This was particularly expensive for the city because Dolan, due to his rank, is near the top of OPD’s salary scale. Spreading out the work among other officers during normal shift times could have been cheaper.

    He’s having himself a giggle.

    Holy fuck, why are they paying overtime to someone who can’t record what he used half of it doing and managed to work clock more overtime than regular time‽
