NYPD cops are being threatened with no vacation days or sick time unless they stop their slowdown and issue more tickets.
One precinct has even been told that time off is not permitted until police up their arrests and summonses, reports the New York Post.
'Everyone here is under orders — no time off' during the summons catch-up blitz, said one cop at the 105th Precinct in Queens.

A memo posted on the wall at a station house in Queens, informs officers that new vacation days will not be approved beyond already approved vacation days and that a doctor's note will be needed for sick days
And the majority of [new] summonses written aren't protecting the public in any way.
'But now they're realizing how much revenue the city is losing and they're enforcing their will upon us,' he said.
The officer told the newspaper that they were informed they could not return to the precinct or even take a meal break until two summonses were logged.

Apparently, tickets and arrests have dropped off significantly and it's pinching the NYC's pocket book. Go figure, w/ such low police activity you'd think all hell would've broke loose but apparently not. Not excusing the lack of arrests for crimes w/ a victim but the lion's share of police activities are shown to be revenue collection for the state or municipality.
