I can almost guarantee there are even higher quotas for Albermarle and Fredricksburg.

In Texas, they don't call them quotas or mandates, they call them "targets." Semantics, to be sure.

The trouble I see with performance quotas is that they incentivize doing the minimal amount of work by spelling it out. How about this for incentive; uphold the law and protect citizens and you will be promoted and get a raise, if not you can find some other line of work

Traffic tickets are a $200-million-a-year business in Virginia. They have the highest speeding fines in the nation, and boy do they issue plenty of them.

That would never fly. It involves common sense.

They force you to focus your attention on one area of your job at the exclusion of others. Performance standards also tend to incentivize finding problems where there are none. You wouldn't want to go to a doctor that had "performance standards" where they had to find a certain number of things wrong with a set of patients each day.

Sadly this is actually the case with some hospital system, where they expect a certain number of tests billed. its in the name of profitability, but the research shows that when you focus on patients and doing only what is best practice that outcomes are better and overhead goes WAY down, but docs still get paid so you actually are in a better financial situation all around by simply avoiding things you shouldn't be doing anyway.
I'll take 911 RS for $5000

I just saw this looking for more on the story of your M3... but I just feel like I'm getting screwed in cars. First, my regular commute goes through where your Fiesta picks up screws, and then I see your thoughts here. As a resident of Stafford who spends 9 months of the year in Albermarle, this makes me unhappy.
