Each week he was on the job last year, Metra Police Department Sgt. John K. Geraty would work his regular 40 hours and then, on average, put in another 38 hours of overtime.
His total pay last year as a cop with the Chicago and suburban commuter rail agency: $154,446, with more than half of that — $90,273 — for overtime.Three years after Metra said it would look into its police department’s bulging budget for extra work hours, the department has been riding an overtime express, with Geraty in the head car, according to a Chicago Sun-Times analysis that shows his OT pay was tops among Metra’s 100-plus police personnel.
