Traffic Citation Quotas

The term “traffic citation quota” is not defined in statute. However, it is commonly defined as any establishment of a predetermined or specified number of traffic citations a traffic enforcement officer must issue within a specified time. In some instances, quotas have been used as a way to measure an officer’s performance. The prohibition of a traffic citation quota can also include the prohibition of any evaluation, promotion, compensation, or discipline based on a specific number of citations issued.
According to correspondence with the Florida’s Police Chiefs Association, issuing traffic citations is only part of a traffic enforcement officer’s enumerated duties; performance is more effectively measured by shifting an officer’s focus to “stopping the errant driving behavior” versus a focus on issuing traffic citations. An officer’s performance evaluation, when assessing matters dealing with traffic safety, also includes:

-Providing for the safe and convenient flow of traffic and pedestrians;
-Investigating traffic crashes;
-Providing first aid;
-Conducting DUI investigations;
-Promoting vehicular and pedestrian safety; and
-Reporting unsafe road conditions.
So you are one of them who feel being told to do your job is a quota. All the lazy POS's try to hide behind the quota bill. Being told to do enforcment in a specific area is not a quota violation. Maybe they should limit your area of patrol to a specific Arrive Alive area and make you stay in that area. You are one crybaby whiner me generation person !!!!
