According to a civil grand jury report released Monday, the San Francisco Sheriff's Department is caught in a vicious cycle. It's spending a jaw-dropping amount of money compensating workers who are unlikely to ever return to the Department, which requires the healthy staff members to work a remarkable amount of overtime which, says the grand jury, is increasing their chances for work-related injury...and you can see where this is going. Let's take a look at some of the numbers.

• $10.7 million: The amount of overtime the SF Sheriff's Department paid out in 2012 and 2013, all to cover for sick and injured workers.
• 24%: The top percentage of hours worked that are allowed to be classified as "overtime" hours for San Francisco city workers.
• 31%: The percent of hours worked by 50 Sheriff's Department deputies that are classified as overtime.
• $3.5-4.0 million: The amount of money the Department paid out in workers' comp claims for on-the-job injuries and illnesses in 2012 and 2013.
• 50: The number of Sheriff's Department deputies currently out on long-term disability.
• 23: The number of those deputies who are "on family or medical leave who are expected to return to work."
• 35: The number of deputies who remain on long term leave for job related illness or injury who are never expected to return to work.
