Several posts ago, I linked a story that reported how some LA County deputies had an informal contest for arrests and vehicle impounds. This link provides additional information and a video link to the report. This link will take you to the response of Sheriff Bacca.
In his response, Sheriff Bacca states that innovation and trying new ideas results in mistakes but the end result is worth it. His observation is correct; however, when the liberty and lives of people are at stake, police administrators must take great care in the instruction of supervisors and administrators to make sure appropriate boundaries are established and followed.
