Quotas Are Back in 017

That's what we hear at least:

• My sources tell me that the 017th District 3rd Watch W/C (KB) is calling officers in & telling them that if their activity does not improve he will have to place them in the "Personnal Concern" Program. Is this action a threat making the 3rd Watch a Hostile Work Enviroment, an EEOC Complaint or both. Is he acting on his own or with the Commanders Orders? Just asking??
  
  
• please address this scc,officers in 017 dist. called in by 2nd watch comm. 3rd watch comm.about performance, giving neg reviews.. this is a hostile work enviroment. activity, activity, numbers. numbers

We aren't sure, but this doesn't seem to rise to the level of a "Personnel Concern." Let's see...Administrative Order 05-04 - Personnel Concerns Program, Section V-C (we're summarizing here:)

1. sustained excessive force CRs
   
2. four instances of "program eligible conduct" from the "Nondisciplinary Intervention Pilot Program
3. sustained domestic violence CRs
4. sustained intoxication CRs
5. sustained penalties of 10 days or more
6. five sustained CRs in 5 years
7. two performance grades below a 76 (which hasn't been done in 10 years or more)
8. one performance grade below a 70 (again, a defunct system)
9. two SPARs for being AWOL
10. psych evaluation
11. Behavioral Intervention System failure
    

Nope, nothing in there about activity. In any case, always request Union representation, a witness if possible and notification in writing and make sure the captain cites the appropriate section of Administrative Order 04-05.

Sounds like the captain is about to make a whole bunch of coppers very happy this Christmas. Sounds like the Commander might be on the hook since he's allowing this to go on.
