| Just Curious about your jobs as policemen/women
Do you guys actually have quotas to fill? IE you have to give out a certain amount of tickets / time period?

Some detachments/sections have certain expectations and goals, others don't.

The only official quota I was subject to was in Fort St. John. I was not allowed to have more than 30% of my tickets be for speeding offences. Otherwise, I was just required to do a reasonable day's work.
Today, RCMP traffic personnel are required to spend 30% of their time on seatbelts, 30% on impaired driving and 30% on speeding and aggressive driving.

Remember, "impaired" doesn't JUST mean "drunk".
