Penn State spent half a million dollars on police overtime at football games in 2021. Local police officers make double their hourly rate when working overtime at Penn State football games, a cost the school reimburses. SpotlightPA dug into the data.
Penn State University paid $572,119 for officers from five Centre County police departments to work overtime at football games last year, according to data from the agencies.
The State College Police Department, which had 61 full-time uniformed employees in 2021, logged more overtime hours for Penn State than any other local agency. The department reported its officers worked more than 2,000 hours at the games for a total reimbursement of almost $399,000. Penn State would not provide details on overtime reimbursements to Spotlight PA because the information “is not considered public.” Under Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law, “state-related institutions” are “generally exempt from the Law’s requirements,” according to theAll five local police departments provided the reimbursement information upon request.
Weaver said he won’t send the requested detail if the borough can’t fill its regular shifts that day. He often patrols such Saturdays, he said, so his officers can work the games.
