In some places they might, but here in my city, there is no official quota. However, each officer has to write somewhere near the monthly overall average for the entire department.

Do police have quotas?

In almost all North American jurisdictions, actual "quotas" (IE: a minimum number of tickets an officer is expected to write) are officially illegal, but that hasn't stopped many precincts. In a 2005 MSNBC article a New York City police department confirmed that police sergeants were given a memo with how many traffic summonses they needed to write to avoid receiving a poor performance review. Another 2005 story from WLWT News 5 in Cincinnati said the same thing, that officers who did not meet ticket "goals" were put on desk duty and walking patrols. When asked about the ticket goals police spokesman Lt. Kurt Byrd said "I don't think you can use the word 'quota' and 'goal' interchangeably." A 2011 article in the New York Post reported on a lawsuit where Capt. Alex Perez of Brooklyn reported that arrest numbers are a factor when evaluating officers' performance, and that a officer in a unit with no arrests is more likely to get a poorer performance rating than an officer with more arrests. The Montreal Gazette reported in January 2011 that Montreal Police came out and published actual quota numbers after years of denying quotas even existed. Squad cars are expected to issue 16 tickets a shift while the daily quota for a motorcycle unit is 18. So while ticket quotas are illegal in many areas it is clear that quotas remain as popular as ever. Yes they do, they may not be called quotas, but they may be called contact points or whatever the police dept might choose to call it, but yes the do.
