The Cost of Restoring Order in Los Angeles
Pandemic lockdowns, retirements partly to blame for billion-dollar overtime costs.
OpenTheBooks The LAPD spent $265.5 million on overtime,
another record, in 2024. Prior to that, no police officer had ever
earned more than $235,000 in overtime. Last year? It happened seven
times. The pay raises Mayor Karen Bass gave police in 2023 — 13% over

Detective Nathan Kouri took home a
