I saw a news story a while back that Conn Troopers were pissed because
they wound up with a quota.  Someone at the top of the heap was looking
to get a few lazy people out and working, and they got bitten for it.
Many states have outlawed quotas.

They should do what this state does.  A friend said that all he has to
do is have one "citizen contact" per hour.  Citation, warning,
complaint, accident (which could count multiple times, depending upon
how many cars involved,) tire changer, etc.
