southsider2k5 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Well I do know for a fact that the LaPorte County Sheriff's Dept doesn't, FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox4lifeinPA Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 when a large portion of your yearly budget comes from tickets, you've got to be joking that officers aren't "encouraged" to pull a certain amount of speeders over. You want a paycheck? pull 20 people over this month... you want a raise next year? we can only afford it if you pull over 30 people in october, november and december. believe it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wong & Owens Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I have a couple friends who are Chicago Cops, and they have said they have quotas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be Good Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I know many NYC cops and Nassau County cops, and they all have quota's, and they all try to give out all their tickets out early each month so they don't have to worry about it later on. And I'm pretty sure they dont have speeding tickets quota's its ticket's in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Lake County, Indiana does not have them. I've heard it's against the law, but I'm sure they are "encouraged." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I think that's the same thing in Nassau County (where I live) it's not official but it's highly encouraged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubKilla Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Police Administrators demanding a ticket quota from their officers are against most FOP's Collective Bargaining Agreements. The may be set forth minimum performance standards, but tickets are not the only factor when dealing with what constitutes minimum performance.

EvilMonkey Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 If they have quotas, the State Police must meet theirs pretty early. I often see them on the Tri-State, just sitting there, while someone passes me at 70+MPH. I saw them, I slowed down, the other guy didn't, and gets away scot-free. Seriously, I see them let speeding go very often. Except for when it is ME going 5MPH over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 they dont have quotas but you know that if you dont get enough then youre not working hard enough It is one means of evaluating if a cruiser cop is working. In some locals, I'm thinking Hainsville, Illinois where they had 6 squad cars for a population of just over 200 at one time. They would hire all of these part time cops to sit on 120 and pull people over. If you covered your salary, plus some for the city, you kept your job. Oops, I mean they kept the good people of Hainsville save from all the out of towners who would have been speeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
