This Department's Quota Was So Demanding, Cops Had to Fake Citations Just to Keep Up With It

However, police departments, and especially police unions have vehemently denied this fact for decades.

Over the years, various departments across the country have been exposed as having quota programs, showing a widespread and systematic policy where officers are encouraged to make as many arrests as possible.

In one surprising recent case, a department's quota policy was actually uncovered by the local police union, in a surprising turn of events.

15 officers were recently placed on administrative leave for inflating traffic stop data, after internal e-mails and documents released by the Arlington Municipal Patrolman's Association (AMPA) exposed the corruption that they were involved in.

Department spokesperson Lt. Christopher Cook has denied that there is an explicit quota program at the department.
