Rotterdam police face salary cuts for not meeting fine quota

Rotterdam police offers who do not hand out 120 fine in a year face a salary cut, the Telegraaf reports on Saturday, quoting from employment contracts.


The concept of quota for fines was removed from national police performance regulations a few years ago, the paper says.
But a spokesman for the Rotterdam force told the paper fines are part of the job and the 120 target is not ‘unattainable’.
Ordinary police officers are on the streets for six hours a day and will witness hundreds of instances where fines can be handed out, he was quoted as saying.
