San Francisco police officers are being forced to work overtime due to a decrease in new hires, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Chronicle reported further that overtime pay for police officers skyrocketed in the past three years while staffing at the department has declined.
Back in February, the Chronicle published a scathing critique of San Francisco officials blasting the measure as 'absurdly complicated.' Amid the city's police officer shortage, the Chronicle wrote that the city needs more police officers. Democratic San Francisco Mayor London Breed was one of several city leaders across the nation who cut funding to the police in 2020, redirecting $120 million from law enforcement to fund other city initiatives.
