Do Police Officers have traffic ticket quotas?
Douglas from Weston was annoyed because he said he was not speeding and the cop was rude and ignored his pleas to not give him a ticket. So as to whether there is a quota, no not officially. Troopers and City Patrol Officers do not have a quota or minimum number of traffic stops they are required to make in any given time. However, their employers expect a full day’s work for a full day’s pay from each and every one of its employees. Thus, Supervisors look at the daily work sheet each and every trooper and traffic patrol officer is required to complete. The report shows how many physical assists or violator contacts were made during a shift. But there is no mandate or regulation requiring a specific minimum number of contacts per shift. However, it’s logical that a traffic cop would want to have higher numbers per shift to impress his or her boss just like any other employee.
