Las Cruces Sun-News - LAS CRUCES - A "point system" at the Las Cruces Police Department directs patrol officers to make a certain amount of arrests and write a certain amount of tickets every month, or face disciplinary action. Internal memorandums obtained by the Sun-News detail a "patrol plan" instructing officers to "meet or exceed a 90 point rating every calendar month" through "a combination of predetermined point-valued activities." Written and weighted by Lts. Walter Jackson and Mark Nunley, the system in West Area Command has been in place since April 10, and in East Area Command since March 30. Officers on the streets are angry about the new system, according to Las Cruces Police Officers' Association President Todd Froats, and the union's attorney is challenging its implementation.

It would be interesting to know if the DAC Sheriff's Department has a similar system in place.
