As it relates to NYPD overtime spending as of January, the NYPD has spent approximately 721,000,000 for overtime costs, 156,000,000 more than the 556,000,000 budget budgeted for overtime adoption.
0:51:59
Nearly all of the over nearly all of the overage in overtime spending is the result of excess uniform overtime.

At adoption, the NYPD's budget included 477,000,000 for uniform overtime expenses, but by January uniform overtime expenses had exceeded 631,000,000.

So overtime by rank is split about 50% is for our police officers, which makes sense given that they make up the vast majority of our staff on the uniform side, 27 detectives, 15 percent sergeants, eight percent lieutenants, and point 1% in the other ranks within the department.
0:53:10
In terms of category, our projected spend is that events and details will be 20%, transit safety 18%, investigations 17%, protests 8%, operational 8%, arrest 8%, and crime reduction 6%.
0:53:30
Those percentages are actually percentage wise relatively consistent with prior years, although we have obviously additional resources on the transit side as a part of the governor and mayor's joint announcement, particularly with regard to having officers on the trains overnight.
