Pay for Cops Sought For Overtime Work
The Milford Police Benevolent Association seeks to enforce the 40 hour work week under the 1951 Special Laws. Patrolman Thomas LaTulipe announced that members demand pay for all hours beyond 40, rejecting compensatory time off. The PBA notes overtime must be paid at the regular rate unless an emergency exists as declared by the Police board.
