HPD’s new “productivity policy” (wink, wink) is now a pilot program, according to KHOU-11:
11 News obtained a memo Tuesday that read, “The minimum average of tickets written by an officer must be one per day to be acceptable.”
According to the memo, officers found to be non-compliant could face being assigned to Ben Taub Hospital to guard a prisoner, assigned to Tele-Serve, meaning taking reports by telephone, lose their ability to work extra jobs or even be terminated.

It appears that it is going to be a pilot program in the southeast and northeast parts of Houston. They will try the program for a month to work out any problems, then most likely will implement it throughout the city.
