Similarly, I was surprised by the "lawsuit settlements" section on this Lieutenant's page on the referenced 50-a.org site

Compared to overtime, though, which cost $800M+ in 2023, lawsuit settlements by the NYPD only cost $115M in the same year[0].

I know New York is big, and the NYPD is big, but $115 million still seems like way too much

It’s insane. But until NYC gets a mayor willing to hold the NYPD in check (so, not the current one), absolutely nothing will be done about it.
