For the better part of the last decade, nearly every waking hour of San Francisco Deputy Sheriff Barry Bloom’s life was spent on the clock.

Bloom, a public safety monitor at San Francisco City Hall, was on duty an average of 95 hours a week since 2016, and more than 100 hours a week over the last two fiscal years, according to city data. His workload of late leaves roughly 10 hours a day remaining for sleeping, eating and just about anything else not tied to his job as a sheriff’s deputy.

    It’s absolutely just stealing from tax payers at that level. 7 years of 95-100 hour weeks would kill you if you actually worked those hours, even as a cop.

      There’s one three comments read the one from the Paramedic and then get back to me about stealing from tax payers

        So, the cop writing tickets or sleeping in his car on OT pay is the same as a paramedic?

        Paramedics are on call those long hours, not necessarily actually working. In some places they can even sleep on the clock.
