City to Cops: You’re Not Writing Enough Tickets
(Chicago Sun Times) — A City Hall memo obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times warns police officials that the city will “witness a dramatic decrease in annual revenues and not meet 2010 targets” if a slump in writing parking and vehicle-compliance tickets continues until the end of the year.
The Aug. 10 memo, which doesn’t explicitly ask police to boost tickets, tells district commanders and other supervisors that police ticket-writing dropped nearly 25 percent in July compared to the same month in 2009. It lists the five districts with the least and most tickets.
