Calgary police admit the force has a quota system for traffic tickets. Officers must dish out at least 20 tickets a month, or an average of one per shift. Deputy chief Rick Hanson says the policy stems from a 1998 program aimed at reducing collisions. He says it's leading to fewer accidents and safer streets. Tickets bring in about 22 million dollars a year for Calgary's police budget. The Calgary Police Association says it brought the quota system to light because 10 constables were disciplined for not writing the necessary number of tickets. They were each given a letter of discipline citing them for insubordination. They're scheduled to appear before the Law Enforcement Review Board. Association president Al Koenig says the quotas make cops look like city revenue collectors. He says more tickets don't mean safer roads.
