No doubt, I'm sure it's a very difficult job.
Those massive OT numbers are not good for a couple reasons and should be addressed. If a consty is making $100,000 in OT above normal wages, it's time to hire more officers. For the same money you could put a lot more cops on the streets.
The other thing is burn out, it will happen. Working too many hr's will catch up to you eventually, that costs people their health, happiness and often results in a career change. Been there, one year I had over 3800 hr's on my pay stub and it sounds like some of these cops are about the same. Time to hire more officers.
