As you know, I am committed to the efficient and appropriate use of overtime at the NYPD.
0:20:25
And our overtime management plan is achieving that goal.
0:20:28
In the first half of fiscal year twenty twenty five the NYPD's overtime spending was about 11% above the previous year.
0:20:35
Now we have not only slowed that trend, we have reversed it.
0:20:40
Since the plan was implemented each month has seen significant reductions in overtime spending year over year.
0:20:46
When compared to the same month in 2024, January overtime spending was down 9.7.
0:20:52
February was down 10.1%.
0:20:54
March was down 14%.
0:20:55
And April was down 15%.
0:20:58
You can clearly see the improving trend as the plan has been honed and refined over time and these reductions resulted in combined savings of $40,400,000 over the first four months of 2025 compared to last year.
0:21:12
Overall with this renewed focus and enhanced compliance measures we anticipate that our overtime spending will be lower than the target established with the Office of Management and Budget for fiscal year '20 '20 '5 and significantly lower than it would have been if no measures were taken in January.
0:21:30
To be clear, none of this has come at the expense of public safety.
0:21:34
We continue to do all the necessary work to reduce crime and improve quality of life.

No one does it better than the women and men at the NYPD.
