Wow one officer has in the$ 20,000 plus range of overtime. Is that normal for an officer to make that much in OT. I think its great. I wish I could have a base salary of 48 or 49 and already make $83,000. Im not being mean. I am being serious. Someone tell me please how I can make that. My family wants me to work more.lol. Serious I need the money.I want to work OT but it is never available. Is it certain departments? I am new so I am not aware.
