“An Elmore City police chief says he was fired for not writing enough tickets. The former chief says he was told by the mayor there was a ticket quota and when he refused to meet it, he was let go. News 9 checked with an attorney who says ticket quotas are illegal and a violation of a police officer’s oath. But the former chief and others who used to work for the city tell News 9 the mayor made it clear, he expected a certain amount of tickets to be written every day.”
