Only 400 hours over 18 months, approaching retirement?
If you’re padding OT the right way, you should be able to stack up at least 25 hours a week with nobody saying “boo” given how short-staffed the NYPD is.
But you do have to show up. That’s important.

That's only like 5 hours a damn week! Jesus, you got to be an idiot to get caught for 1 hr a day extra.

25 hours of overtime a week is 100 hours a month that’s insane

Happens all the time, because of the way pensions are calculated based on the last three years of employment, although many hires after 2012 aren’t going to be able to exploit it.
Gonna be a while before we see any savings.

Right here; the pension system is ridiculous. Even if he was jailed, chances are he would still keep his pension. See Sheldon Silver, for example.

Quick deflect to a democrat!

I pointed to Sheldon Silver because he is a high profile politician from NYC.
There are plenty of Republicans as well, but it's definitely harder to find local ones for obvious reasons. Grimm is an example, although he worked for a federal body so I am not sure how that is relevant.
Silver might be a bad example as well, since he worked for a state body. But I am sure I can find other crooks in NYC who kept their pensions.

It takes time to track and log the time. So there you have it.

Imagine any other job that gets a slap on the wrist for stealing 60K

At the very least, you'd be facing criminal charges for felony embezzlement.
This guy steals from taxpayers and he never even sees the inside of a courtroom. Just an "NYPD hearing".

u/jl250 is this the police force you think is being undermined by progressives?

You go ahead and worry about one individual charging overtime; I worry more about the fact that NYC had approx. 2,200 homicides *annually* in the 1990 - 1992 period - immediately preceding the time Guiliani came up and cleaned up with a strong police force. Demonstrably saved thousands of lives. And considering that 96% of shooting victims in NYC are black or Latino - Guiliani and Bloomberg saved thousands of Black and Latino lives with their strong police forces.

And yet both communities were fiercely critical of them both, including the current mayor. You need to believe black and brown communities when they’re saying stuff like that.

On the force for 19 years, and flushed his career down the toilet out of greed.
Partial pension is a slap in the face. Dude should be fired outright and prosecuted for defrauding the city.
This is the type of shit that undermines the public's faith in not just the NYPD, but the justice system as a whole.
Cheng was allowed to negotiate a deal where he admitted to criminal fraud in exchange for an early retirement. And he did this @ an NYPD hearing; not a criminal court.
He will never be prosecuted for his criminal behavior. Instead, taxpayers will be paying him for the next few decades.
Fucking embarrassing all around.

Dumbass decided to lie and cheat with a high profile. Don't accept those positions if you wanna keep your OT abuse scheme going.
