      Seattle police department's overtime budget alone is substantially larger than most other Seattle departments, and it has become a backdoor way of growing SPD’s budget, with little oversight as to how this money is spent.

      To illustrate a few examples, SPD overtime budget is: 2.5x larger than the Office of Economic Development. 4.3x larger than the Office for Civil Rights. 4.3x larger than the Office of Labor Standards. 7.5x larger than the Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs.

      This kind of spending is just one piece of a deeply problematic and systemically racist puzzle. Overtime pay can (and does) create perverse incentives for police and drive racially discriminatory policing.
