New NYPD data shows which units racked up the most overtime The department quietly published a report that provides an unusually detailed breakdown of overtime spending.

Cops assigned to the NYPD warrant squad pulled in the most money for overtime in 2024. The data was uploaded to the NYPD website after Jessica Tisch took over as commissioner.
