The NYPD blues

Listen to this story

Transit cops in New York work long hours on the subways and buses of the city that never sleeps. Some of them - really long hours. The New York Times reports today the city's transit agency paid a third of its police officers more than $100,000 each last year. One made more than $200,000. Most of that's thanks to overtime. Because whenever cops work extra duty, they get time and a half at least. Ashley Milne-Tyte reports that since 9/11 officers of the regular NYPD have been putting in hours the city will be paying for ... for decades to come. (Photo: Getty Images)
