OGDEN, Utah — Ogden Mayor Ben Nadolski has announced that he is working with members of his police department to create a change to its “point system” that has long been criticized by officers and lawmakers as an illegal police quota.“I’m not in favor of it,” Nadolski said during a debate. “That’s my opinion that I expressed right from the beginning when it first came up... It erodes trust when people think, or know, that there is a quota in our city.

In response, Nadolski said he doesn’t want to give direct orders to police officers, because he does not have law enforcement experience. “You have a quota,” Burbank said. “Whether you call it or anything under the sun? It doesn’t matter. That is setting up a quota system in which you’re rewarded for writing tickets.”Timmerman is a retired SLCPD officer who now lives in Ogden.“I think he owes it to us to follow through,” said Timmerman. “I know Chief Young fairly well... I thought some of what he said was disingenuous.”
