NYPD Cops Fabricated Drug Cases to Meet Arrest Quotas
NYPD strikes again. Thanks to Bennett Jones for this item.
Why would this happen? . . . it's a natural consequence of promoting poor leaders into management roles . . . the natural result of cronyism and ass-kissing. When a pseudo-leader doesn't know what to do to invoke motivation, he/she uses charts and bar graphs. It is the unappreciated, most expensive failing of American business.
Ridgway & 44: Thanks for your comments. NYPD is one of the most numbers-driven PD's in the country. All the numbers-crunching does nothing to deal with the corruption in the department. It seems that every week a new scandal or indictment involving NYPD officers is revealed. Just as in higher ed., attempts to find simple measures for complex outcomes (public protection and service & learning and career preparation) leads to mind-numbing stupidity.

ReplyDeleteA culture of corruption, unaccountability and violation of the public trust. Deja-vu with the White House's current occupants.
