DeKalb Police May Have Ticket Quotas

DECATUR, Ga. — CBS 46 News has learned that the DeKalb County Police Department may have instituted a quota system.

Sources tell CBS 46 that officers are being ordered to make a certain number of arrests, and write a certain number of tickets each month.

Regardless, the line to get into DeKalb’s traffic court is growing and may continue to grow if Police Chief Terrell Bolton has anything to do with it.

CBS 46 News has learned that under the Guided Achievement Plan, Bolton is ordering his officers to write more tickets and arrest more people because they are well behind the number of arrests and tickets compared to 2006.
