6:08 pm
the weekend before, it was 52 officers. for someone working day shift is supposed to get off at 4:30 p.m. may be required to stay until 9:30. that person has to come back and still work there shift the next day, as well. >> reporter: beat caps has told nbc bay area that the overtime is leading to exhaustion and burnout. >> reporter: when we have an officer coming out we want them to be well rested, alert and empathetic of what is going on. >> reporter: the president of the neighborhood association says crime and public safety are the number one concern in her community and she does not want police were never staffing struggles to make matters worse, is especially in crime- ridden communities. >> when it is concentrated in a certain pocket of san jose and you know that people around you are being affected, it's upsetting. >> reporter: in hopes of eliminating the mandatory overtime, the department is putting 17 additional patrol truck cars on the street today.
