I would have thought Chesterfield County was a (relatively) safe place to go about in public, with little need to fear the police.
Evidently not:
Former police officer exposes Chesterfield’s ticket quota goals
Shocking!
That is not very reassuring. See the comment at Karin Riley Porter Attorney at Law.
Evidently not:
Former police officer exposes Chesterfield’s ticket quota goals
Two Virginia delegates who represent voters in Chesterfield County said they would consider banning ticket quotas at law enforcement agencies after CBS 6 uncovered traffic stop and arrest mandates at the Chesterfield County Police Department.
A former officer with the Chesterfield Police Department came to CBS 6 investigative reporter Melissa Hipolit with concerns about the way he said the department measured officer performance. His recent review contained traffic stop and arrest mandates.
It showed the following work goals:
“Failure to meet the expectation during this work performance plan will result in further disciplinary action,” the review read.
- Two-three traffic stops per day
- One arrest per day
The former officer said he resigned after he was denied a one percent raise for not making enough traffic stops and arrests.
Shocking!
“This is…this is shocking…it really is,” Del. Riley Ingram (R – Chesterfield) said.
“This is a little disconcerting,” Del. Delores McQuinn (D – Chesterfield) said. She said she had never seen something like that in writing before.
When questioned about the document, leaders at the Chesterfield Police Department sought to clarify its intent.
“If you think Chesterfield County Police officers are evil and out to target our citizens, that’s just completely false,” Lieutenant Colonel Kelly said.
