Another "perk" they get is when they goto a call the first officer on scene will take down the names of the officers who show up so they can also.. goto that court case and sit in and yes, make over time.
Call it what you want but he works in 6d. Which is the.. well you know best part of DC.. he averages 8-12 calls per shift where the much nicer areas of DC will average 1-3 calls every two days if that. For putting his life on the line everyday in DC he should be compensated but it is silly.
