Capitol Police officers who have worked substantial overtime, resulting in them hitting an annual pay cap of $212,100, are being put on leave without pay — and the union that represents them is not happy about it.
Department leadership asked for, and received, approval for an approximately $10,000 increase to the pay limit regarding Protective Services Bureau officers, which includes the agents that travel with leadership and work high volumes of overtime.
But the Uniformed Services and Operational Services bureaus — which includes the officers standing post at the doors and more specialized units like SWAT — have not yet been included in that raise.
