Putting the police, fire department, paramedics and nurses on an incentive based pay, would be incredibly dumb.

Cops would get sloppy, because they would be in a rush to close cases with convictions. How long before someone with a debt load starts manufacturing evidence.

Or a traffic cop starts smashing brake lights?

Or a detective starts manufacturing busts.

Or a cop refuses to further investigate minor crimes because it contributes to his areas crime rate.

Or a paramedic reduces the emergency drug use to a patient because it increases his shift costs.

There's a reason why these guys don't have incentive based pay.

If you look at the article about the higher paid detectives, they have the experience and the expertise that requires them to work those type of hours.

If you look at the constable, its because Cops are on call and needed.
