Great. Now add that to the fact the "peace officers" get overtime when testifying in court against you for the victimless crimes quotas they are being graded on in their performance system and we will have taken a few important steps to that police state that New York and Jersey is now... This is just a thinly veiled attempt to collect more taxes from your hard earned paychecks in the form of fine and court costs. What makes it even sweeter is they use the funds they steal from you while under threat of violence or incarceration to buy new toys like non-lethal weaponry and Bearcat APCs to do an even better more efficient job at spreading fear to the masses. Have you ever wondered why there is such a feeling of dread and fear when you see that cop car in your rearview mirror? Why? They are, after all, "peace officers", right?

It seems to be time to get out of Raleigh. Corruption seems to be the only thing trickling down from the capital building. To bad the housing market is in the toilet. I would move back to Asheville, Where the gevernment has forgot is still in North Carolina. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS ASHEVILLE. You are better off without this Government.

"What does PPM stand for? Obamacare Tax"

People that are too lazy to type.

carlostheass- I hope now you get stopped for something petty and/or arrested just to get the numbers up!! Ha, what comes around goes around. You have no idea how bad this guy is unless you are on the inside. I would like to see you work 12+ shifts, have YOUR life on the line, work hard, and still be called below ave. I think your opinion would change in a heartbeat! Go apply to become an RPD officer, but you won't you don't have the guts to do what they do on a daily basis and get paid in pennies and with basically no REAL benefits!

I have tried to add some more insight without naming names or violating posting guidelines, but my last two did not make it.

I guess we citizens have to remember that officers are just the foot soldiers of a department and have to simply follow orders. If a supervisor says that Mrs Jones wants speeders ticketed on her road, then the officer better come in with results.

I admire the officers who are speaking out. Thanks for saying what's not in the articles.

Wow I never realized how much a police officer is like a teacher. You guys are getting the shaft like teachers do. Youare the ones out doing all the work and having to jump through hoops that are just plain insane. YET, don't dare speak up or question a new program/evaluation that is being implemented. I have read the comments from the police officers...and I'll have to say it's pretty sad to see that the dept. and cheif could care less about their concerns. Just like in education...the NUMBERS is all that matters. Quality is thrown right out the windows. YOu have my sympathy RPD officers...wow...it's very sad!

@ The Guy and RPD07

Amen! Keep the "insider" comments flowing.

Don't know why mine was censored either. So I will try again. Not all sworn-Raleigh Police Officers are requred to do these daily PPMs. So you have sworn Officers from the same department that are evaluated differently because some are evaluated based off of PPM numbers and some are evaluated based on their actual work and performamce.
