OT Cuts Coming?
Rumor from the comments:
- Many don’t know this, but after Bud Billiken the department intends to drastically cut back on all voluntary OT that doesn’t directly affect district operations. Only OT will be offered in order to man downed cars. Overtime related to missions and any extension of tour other than a late arrest will be one. Counter terrorism OT will be cut along with all other bureaus. Only a [???] number will be allowed since that is outside funded OT. Traffic, robbery and violence missions are gone for watches, districts tac and units. The last “forced” ot will be for Bud Billiken, air and water and Labor Day for 4th watch and then Mexican independence weekend for the whole department. Otherwise, it’s going to be an OT desert.
Of course, by then festival season will be over, the schools will be open and classes at the Academy (which are suspended until November anyway) will be starting up, so the Department can pretend to "cut" OT.
Until May 2026 that is. Then - unless there's been a massive change involving ten-hour days - OT will start up again because another 400 cops are scheduled to retire before next summer.

Got to fill the beat cars. O.t. Will remain as long as clouted stay inside.
I've been retired for a long time and I remember the department trying to cut overtime. It would work for a while, but would eventually return with a vengeance. So, just put up with it for a while and remember "pay me now, or pay me later".
happens every year
Good, fuck this city.
Find yourself a nice side gig with less headaches for decent money. Much less chance of stepping on your dick in the private sector than playing “tact warrior” doing some bullshit vice mission chasing dude for dope.
Give this city nothing.
Make them hire.
Off topic. Anyone notice Snelling added a few extra metals on his chest for the graduation? Did he earn 7 additional as the Supt? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What will PRT do with all the missions they would “ run “ the biggest one is 1906 and his useless assss
Who’s that the overtime fairy?! Overtime will not go anywhere. The department cannot sustain the manpower shortage and can’t afford to not authorize overtime. All smoke and mirrors. Now join the circus and make your money
Won’t cut OT at the airports lol I guarantee u that !! Ohare is down several dozen officers OT is the only thing keeping the unit afloat. Spiro is in way over his head and has no idea how to make a decisions on his own. Ohare is a
terrorist dream. 3rd watch currently is the worst. Officers eating at their posts. Showing up late every single day. Arguing with dispatchers daily. Complete shit show. Same officers daily handling all the jobs. Unit is now a district and has turned into a complete joke
Makes sense
