Watkins Township Clerk"This is a major issue facing the department," Bramhalltold the council. "There is a direct correlation between overtime and the number of officers in the department." Bramhall noted that overtime has increased significantly since the force dropped from 29 officers to 27, and even with 27 sworn officers on the force, overtime is already ahead of last year, Bramhall said. http://caldwells.patch.com/articles/police-ot-issue-before-council
