SUBJ. OPHPD Court overtime costs
As per our conversation I totalled our overtime compensation for members of our P.D.
for the year 1996. Total overtime hours for court testimony scheduling was 264 hours.
This averages out to approx. $8,184.00 Our City Atty. fees came to just a few dollars
under $50,000.00 making our total for misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor prosecutions
roughly $58,184.00
Our agency generated income from fines levied and some prosecution reimbursement which
had also been ordered. Fines totalled $56,545.00 and restitution for prosecution
costs cam to $1,620.00 for a total of $58,165.00
As you can see we came to nearly an even wash across the board for our prosecution and
courts costs.
Please be'aware that the overtime hours mentioned above, 264 hours for the year, are
for 4 officers. The remaining officers, myself, the Investigator, the School Liaison
Officer, and the Police Officer working on the day watch, make our court appearances as
part of our daily work shift and there is no added expense.
Any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me.
