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 !!!!

***This is for the individual that posted the above!***
The above bullets seem very close to what FHP policy states. So....
What have you done to promote a safe and convenient flow of traffic and pedestrians? Stopped and directed traffic at a congested intersection, stopped to help a large number of pedestrians across the road, stopped in an area view able to passing traffic (restaurant, home driveway, department store doesn't count), stopped for disabled vehicles?
Investigating crashes or do you pawn them off on zone partner or shift partner?
Provide first aid?
DUI investigations? How many have you stopped, investigated and either arrested or let go after determining they were not DUI? Calling a cab or friend doesn't count!
How often do you call in about traffic lights that are burned out, stop signs down, obstructed views at intersections, damage to the highway?
Go out and do your job! When you see a violation, stop the driver, investigate the violation and issue the appropriate enforcement action..citation, warning, or equipment violation..cve violation.. If you will try this instead of whining and tryuing to get out of work, you'll never have to worry about enforcement activity. Violations are out there everywhere, every day.

Just stop.....
Go back a few post and READ. I don't think the point was anyone not wanting to work or being lazy (no more than usual anyway).
It sounds like it is a minimum number of enforcement contacts required when doing Arrive Alive.
Enforcement contacts are not the same as helping disabled vehicles, calling in traffic lights, etc. That's the point the Legislature was making. And where I work, you hear this type of stuff pretty frequent on the radio.
Sounds like you are actually the one who is concerned about how much you've been hanging out at home, letting drunks go, or not helping your zone partner....

And of course (you must be a supervisor now because that's all they care about) Arrest, Warnings, and Cards are what makes a good trooper? Must be,you listed it first and ALWAYS led your district! I bet the "group" really loved that! Funny you didn't mention the crashes you responded to and investigated. I'm sure the "group" got stuck with them while you were leading the district in arrest! I know your type! Screw your zone partners as long as you're getting the numbers for the "Man"!

Nope, retired now. I did promote and worked with my team at each level. Good activity does make a good trooper. That is what our job is, traffic enforcement. Traffic enforcement consists of not just citations and physical arrests, but warning, correction notices, traffic control, helping motorists with disabled vehicles, and the list goes on.
Worked an average of 50 to 60 crashes per month. I only had one trooper complain to me about my activity. He was a good friend, but he sat under the trees in the shade most days.
What do you do other than moan and groan? Ride around, claim an hour for each DAV, sit on you butt and do nothing?

Glad this department worked out for you! Times have changed! People and most of all the PUBLIC as they view LEO's have changed! The FHP refuses to change. The days of the seat belt and DUI details that produced ticket and arrest numbers are over. We are the only agency that jumps on the band wagon to change the behavior of the motoring public and how they should approach operating a motor vehicle more safely (i.e. seat belt laws DUI etc and education) and our brass still wants seat belt ticket numbers and DUI arrest of yester year! Shouldn't it be a good thing if seat belt usage is up (about 90%) and DUI's are down after the years of education and heavy ENFORCEMENT?? Isn't that the goal we are all wanting? The FHP is never happy! Numbers, numbers, numbers for their stat sheets in Tallahassee are all they care about, not the safety! How about the people that sit on the side of the road in Orange County waiting for a trooper to work their crash for three hours? Sorry old timer! Not many places a trooper can sit under a tree anymore! We have a thing called AVL and are too short and busy in most areas now!
