In my department, new performance evaluations for officers were created and will soon be used. There are two sections that are statistical driven: # of arrests and # of motor vehicle stops. These are new sections that will be used for each performance evaluation period.
This gets interesting. Management is taking last years average # of arrests or traffic stops per shift (while considering the time of year) and is using that as a basis to compare and evaluate each officers arrest or traffic stop rate. Your performance evaluation will be based on how close you were to the average of last years rate.
Anyone see a problem with this? :shock: I do not believe that this statistical driven outlook should be part of a performance evaluation. I do not have a problem with arresting people or making traffic stop however I feel that I have to keep a quota in order to get a good evaluation. Does not seem right. Anyone have any thoughts?
