Another police memo

[limbimtimwim]

The gold nugget is:

The Marlborough memo advised staff that Operation Vanquish, targeting dishonesty and drug offending, had been cancelled, and Operation Life, targeting traffic offending, "is now the primary focus" until the end of the financial year on June 30.

"My sincerest thanks to everyone who participated and made a fantastic impact into Marlborough's crime scene and criminals, and my apologies for having to pull the plug early," the memo said.

I imagine most cops and most of the public find this to be a bit disappointing.

I wonder if there are any 'people' on this site who may want to pass on some directives....
This is getting beyond a joke. No wonder the crims are getting badder.

[kiwifruit]

This is the District Commander's (Grant O'Fee) priority - everything else is secondary.

thats just scary

[placidfemme]

How can they continue to deny this after three leaked memo's...

Do they think the public are TOTALLY stupid?

[terbang]

Police in the Marlborough district were last month instructed their "first priority" was to issue a minimum of two traffic tickets each shift.

The June 6 memo, written by acting Area Commander Tony Sampson warned: "Failure to comply with this directive will be considered a performance issue.

"All supervisors are directed - not asked - directed to ensure that this occurs. This is quite simply what will happen - no excuses.

"This is the District Commander's (Grant O'Fee) priority - everything else is secondary."

Why do we have to put up with these fuckwits?
Letter on its way to my local MP.

I really think they do, along with the local council and NZ Government...

Operation Life, targeting traffic offending, "is now the primary focus" until the end of the financial year on June 30.

Until the end of the financial year. Now, anyone want to reckon that's NOT revenue gathering. In the most literal sense of the term

Issuing tickets solely for the sake of the income. Also makes a total nonsense of the claims that the Police have no interest in the revenue. Clearly, they do.

[placidfemme]

Does the money from the tickets go to the police force?

If not where does it go?

[Sparky Bills]

Pure Ignorance really!

Lets get it in perspective: about a third or so of my tickets generate NO income - they're 'compliance' tickets for worn tyre, no headlight etc.

But my bitch is the hours it takes the troops off crime to get those tickets.

Good point sir....amazing no fines for bald tyre.....can be as dangerous as speeding and other fineable offences.

But if this memo is genuine the force is silly to even issue memo's after previous media stuff.

The 'incentive' of getting off the ticket if they fit another tyre (gotta bring a reciept) makes them do it.

Give 'em a plain $150 ticket and they drive off - and keep driving on the worn tyre and don't get another tyre.
