    Summary

    Overtime spending reached $229.6 million through Q3—22% higher than the same period last year—driven by persistent public safety vacancies, emergency events, and celebrations tied to the Eagles’ Super Bowl win. Citywide overtime is now projected to exceed the FY25 adopted budget by $22.9 million, with Fire, Police, and Prisons accounting for the largest increases. Departments with lower staffing levels continue to rely heavily on overtime, especially in public safety roles where staffing remains well below adopted targets.
