Anyway, the NYPD paid out $58 million in overtime just to fly helicopters alone last year
Closer to 11 when you include their pensions and “fringe” costs, whatever that means (probably gasoline and vehicle maintenance type stuff is my guess), but it includes lawsuits
From the report you linked:
A portion of NYPD-related expenses that are not included in this total are planned expenditures for legal settlements and awards for police-related lawsuits. In calendar year 2022 the city paid $378 million in legal settlements related to claims against the NYPD. Twenty-two of the total 1,395 settlement claims paid out in calendar year 2022 were over $10 million.
The FY 2023 library budget was 471M by way of comparison and the pigs paid nearly 400M of settlements lol
