Quoted for fuckup :lmao

Just because in the narrow scope that you drove and didnt see someone pulled over doesnt mean there arent people being pulled. While there is no quota, there is a reasonable number of stops that an officer is expected to make, and that will be a big factor when promotion time comes around. Think if cop A makes 3 stops in a month, and cop B makes 25, who would you be more likely to promote? The guy sitting in his car not making his time worthwhile, or the guy out busting his ass more that is putting forth effort?

No they dont put out extra shifts, but overtime is readily available for most whenever wanted. There isnt a need for extra officers, there is a need for the individual officers to do more on their own shift. And naturally people procrastinate, and put shit off till the last minute, and alot of officers are no different. They make up more of their stops towards the end of the month.

Not rocket science :thumbup
