NYPD being ordered to write more summons or else

[Darwin333]

The 'slowdown' has cost NYC approximately $5 million out of a yearly budget of $69 billion. That means approximately 0.007% of its budget.

Hellfire, indeed. haha.

So what is the motive behind the quota?

The slowdown was at a cost of about $1M per week.

That will have an impact to the bean counters if it were extended over a complete year.
While to the budget it may not matter; to the people that utilize the slush funds built of this type of revenue, they will scream.

If crime stats are not increasing, then the correct answer is to get rid of the excess police the city doesn't need.

Will never happen.

The police are to protect and serve, not collect.
If you desire collections, use meter "maids"

It's an easy way for middle managers to force people back to work.
