In addition to this purchasing agreement the gummint is cutting $15m from the police budget over the next four years.As far as raising performance targets are they inferring that the plod haven’t been performing up to scratch until now and need to lift their game?Can’t be good for morale if that’s the implication.

They’re raising targets because most KPIs are being met. The fact they are raising the targets while cutting 15m from the budget is bizarre, in my opinion.

I’d suggest stupid and idiotic which sums up most of Corbell’s policies in relation to justice and policing.

I may be wrong but that says to me that there have to be outcomes that have to be achieved (a quota)

True, but they a far, far less interesting than you think. The road safety performance measures are on p10 of the agreement. KPI’s 20-23 look suspiciously like they require ACT drivers to be less honest than the national average.

Oh, I completely agree. I actually have no interest in the Police agreement whatsoever, It was just a slow day thats all and not much was happening at that time. Nothing picks up the day like getting people fired up over something inanely.

Who got fired up? You made an inaccurate comment, I asked a question, you answered it.

“… that tells me that the Police have performance quotas to fill, eg We must book 150 motorists per month or our budget drops etc etc…

The full set of road safety performance targets, to address compliance with Canberra’s 352 Road Rules, is:
1. Number of road crashes resulting in death per 100,000 population.
2. Number of road crashes resulting in injury per 100,000 population.
3. Percentage of persons who self-report to driving 10km per hour or more over the speed limit
4. Percentage of persons who self-report to driving while not wearing a seatbelt.
5. Percentage of persons who self-report to driving while suspecting they are over the prescribed alcohol limit.
6. Percentage of persons who self-report to driving when using a mobile phone.

“Self-report”? Wft does that even mean?
Is someone going to travel above the posted speed limit and then doddle themselves off to the cop shop and admit to it? If it – which I suspect it does – refer to someone being pulled over and then admitting roadside they were in the wrong, why not just use nice simple English and say “…admit to…”

16.2 The annual Purchase Agreement will set outcomes to be achieved,key performance indicators (KPI) and costs for providing the service, In the event that the parties have not signed a Purchase
Agreement by 30 June in any year/ the parties may agree to the terms and conditions of an interim Purchase Agreement.

I may be wrong but that says to me that there have to be outcomes that have to be achieved (a quota), Key performance indicators have to be met (How quickly you get the quota done) and costs for providing the service (What it costs the taxpayer for your new toys so you can achieve your quota).

As I said, I may be wrong but thats how it reads to me.
