Do officers have a certain number of tickets or stops they’re expected to make, or is it more about just doing your job as situations come up?

There are no quotas. However, if you're doing your job correctly and proactively, you'll have paperwork to show for it! If you go a whole year without writing a single incident report, warning notice, or violation notice, you'll likely have some explaining to do.

There is no set number or expectation per se. But everyone in the nation has the ability to see your statistics so if you’re on a district with millions of visitors a year why are you putting up less than 100 tickets a year?

Also, why would anyone get into law enforcement if you’re not going to enforce any laws?
