There isn't a bottom line in the policing world that can easily be related to job performance. The incentives might also lead to huge negative externalities.

How is it hard to track? Reduction of crime rates in specific units, reduction of man days missed, costs within a unit, etc. All information readily available. How would any of these lead to negative externalities? And even if there was a cost to track, i'm sure it's a hell of lot cheaper than paying some guy time and a half to stand around the concourse at a Flames game.
