Fire department works 24 hour shifts. Also, I don't know about rpd, but the fire department has built in overtime. If we didn't hire a single overtime position, we'd still be paying people "overtime" for 8 hours a pay period (this exact number has recently changed and I can't remember what it now is). However, the built in OT is factored into our salary. If starting pay is 51k, your hourly rate is set so that your straight pay plus built in over time comes out to 51k.

Okay, so your computations should include that variable, as well as the minimum staffing requirements for the fire department to get a more accurate picture of why there is more overtime in one department over the other.

Another thing to consider is that there are several law enforcement agencies in Richmond and only one fire department.

VCU Police man special events in the VCU area, for example. If VCU Police weren't there, manning that event would end up as overtime for Richmond Police. VCU Police, the Sheriff's Department, State Police, and Capitol Police all have arrest powers in Richmond.

Make curry using a pressure cooker.

Cocaine Bear was stupid fun. Watched it last night. Wish there was higher body count but some of the kills were pretty brutal.
