For the period in question, $2,565,345 was expended on overtime by the AFP ACT Region. This figure is taken from the Department of Finance Salary System, and includes overtime incurred by ACT Region personnel engaged in Commonwealth functions. When this amount is divided by $32.50, it gives a figure of 78,934 hours overtime worked. The ACT Government share of this figure is approximately 87%, which is 68,672 hours.
It must be noted that the above figures include overtime incurred by both police officers and staff members.
(4) I am advised that it would also be an extensive and resource intensive
exercise to provide the exact number of officers who received overtime for
the said period, again because of the need to manually check roster sheets.
However, given that the police are operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year, it is highly likely that all of the eligible 667 personnel deployed in the
ACT Region received at least one overtime payment during 1 February
1992 to 30 June 1993. Some operational officers would receive overtime
on a regular basis, while others in administrative areas would receive such
payments infrequently
