Double-Booked: Overtime, Armored Cars, and a Missing Payroll

How does overtime pay hide a theft? When a late-night bank deposit vanished, a routine audit turned into a tangle of overtime vouchers, GPS logs that don't match patrol-car cameras, and an armored‑car firm that suddenly won municipal contracts. In ten minutes Will Ryland follows the thread: sworn statements from officers, contractor invoices, redacted procurement files, and a payroll ledger showing the same names being paid twice — once on the city clock, once on the contractor's books. The episode moves from a missing deposit to a system built to be abused: subcontractors, campaign donors, and a local partner with long-standing ties to organized crews. Ryland reconstructs the night the cash disappeared, exposes ledger contradictions the official review ignored, and leaves listeners with what is proven, what is alleged, and the one stubborn fact that still demands scrutiny.
