Cops vs FireFighters (no bino)

[puddlemonkey]

Each year in Tacoma, WA the cops and firefighters get together for a charity basketball game. In this case for underprivileged kids living in the Hilltop neighborhood. As it turns out, the Tacoma Police officers who played in the game weren't donating their time (see below). All this in a city that has been complaining lately that they don't have enough money to keep things running smoothly and need more taxes. The firefighter were not paid.

lol@cops that wonder why their rep sucks



'We were wrong' to pay officers to play, says Tacoma police chief | The News Tribune - MORE TOP STORIES | Seattle-Tacoma News, Weather, Sports, Jobs, Homes and Cars | South Puget Sound's Destination


"An anonymous whistleblower complaint, filed June 1 with the city manager’s office, raised the issue. It alleged officers were paid for a full 10-hour shift even though the game was only a few hours, they were paid to practice for the May 29 match up and other officers were required to work overtime to cover some of the shifts during the game."

Why you blaming the cops - it's the department brass who messed up. Like cops are going to turn down a paycheck mailed to their home or direct deposited. I wouldn't.

Scandalous!!!




I work with an ex cop, he said they submit their own hours. But then again he's been retired as a cop for about 8 years now (OJI).

That's because hiring ADDITIONAL cops and training them, paying extra health insurance, benefits, etc. costs MORE.

It's cheaper to pay cops o/t when crime is high then hire 100 new cops and be stuck with them forever. Jesus has ANYONE taken business classes in life???
