Paid police overtime from the settlement fund

Eleven gross payroll postings between 05/03/2023 and 11/13/2025 charged 13,702.06 to the opioid accounts. A journal of 06/19/2025 moved 206.13 of one officer's overtime back off, for a net 13,495.93. The Township's ADP labor distribution summaries show no regular hours in any of these pays. Every dollar is overtime. The Police Department's Overtime Activity report, filtered to the reason Opioid Funds, lists 99.00 hours at time and a half for DEA take back days, a Casting with a Cop fishing event and a Citizens Police Academy. The fishing event on 08/23/2025 alone took 49.00 hours across seven officers, the 5,008.09 posting of 09/04/2025. One entry reads Citizens Police Academy (Opioid Funds used for payment). The payroll charge distribution sheets list the opioid line among the Township's police overtime grant lines, beside Drive Sober and Click It or Ticket. For pays 8, 9 and 10 of 2026 a handwritten note on the same line reads Charge Ovg to PD OT, and those 1,884.26 never reached the opioid accounts. The Police overtime appropriation never fell. It was 300,000.00 in 2019 and 425,000.00 in 2026, and it ran over budget in five of the eight years. The Township certified the 2023 and 2024 postings and the FY2025 group to the State as National Take Back Day programs.
