An article on May 14 said that a report by the Center for Crime and Justice Studies had revealed that police are using dishonest methods to increase their salaries. While the report found that police overtime spending had increased – and said the matter was “ripe for review” – the suggestion that this was caused by dishonesty or “trickery” came from the Mail, not the report. . Officers can begin claiming overtime 30 minutes after the end of a shift. The claim that officers make arrests outside of normal working hours to increase their pay has been stated before, but we should have been clear that this is conjecture. We apologize for any confusion and the article has been amended.
