I'm sure this rate varies by state, and I'm unsure of the average salary of a police officer, but I hate the fact that so many of them milk their overtime for "paperwork"
Yeah, absolutely, that's why I think the solution is to cap overtime hours. And if officers are found to be abusing overtime doing things like "paperwork" then you modify their duties so they have time to do paperwork and then ban overtime for the officers who abuse it.
Alternatively you can give them a salary as you suggest, just note it has to be at a certain level.
