RE: House Bill 2410 (municipalities; taffie citation quota; prohibition)
Dear Speaker Gowan:
While quotas for traffic complaints don’t currently appear to be happening in Arizona law
enforcement entities, none of us want to see such policies implemented. Therefore, [ understand.
the intent of House Bill 2410,
However, in its current form, I worry that police chiefs and local entities will be prevented from
objectively gauging performance in their departments —a concem for officers themselves, the
public and overall public safety.
Therefore, 1 am vetoing this legislation at this time but am open to working to find ways to
ensure quotas don’t become a practice in Arizona,
Taba
Douglas A. Ducey
Governor
State of Arizona
