Semantics bro....... And no they dont exist for the amount of tickets one writes. Those are all "ILLEGAL" in every dept in every state and ur family members are NOT being instructed to write MORE tickets in their monthly goals. Total BS!
U can call it whatever u want but the fact rermains "Quotas" are highly illegal and the officer gets a copy of his or her performance eval so they know exactly what is on it and no where will it say "Needs training due to lack of tickets written". Its not part of the eval and never will be. Its illegal period!
A dept can encourage their officers to have as many contacts as possible and if they write tickets or arrest ppl thats part of their job bro its not called a "Quota."
Its called being paid to do a profession and that job often requires one to take enforcement action. Again, doing ur job isnt part of the "Quota" system bro u seem to be confused on how things work.
There are a LOT of proactive Cops out there that have PRIDE and do their job effectively. They dont need a reason to do their job effectively and ur sister like many cops just finds the easiest thing to do which is write parking tags in a parking lot smh. Some Cops just do a good job all the time bro and dont need performance evals to encourage them to do so. Others, not so much.....
Some ppl chose to write useless parking tags for numbers. Others do speed enforcement in school zones or look for DUI's or stoen cars....... Two each his own.
I didn't say during their performance evals, I was referring to monthly "performance goals" or "quotas" for "pieces of paper" from each officer. 5 people in my family are police officers and have confirmed that these daily or monthly "performance goals" (their words) do in fact exist. When my sister was a patrol officer, she was instructed to deliver 5 "pieces of paper" per day. Didn't matter if they were tickets, or warnings, or whatever. Her choice of spot was looking for people who were parked in the fire lane infront of the Walmart in her patrol area. She said it was easy pickings for those 5 pieces of paper.
