The majority of the small police department in Slaughter, Louisiana — including the police chief — resigned this week after accusing the mayor of the city of attempting to impose ticket quotas on citizens to increase revenue and turn a profit.
The officers’ resignations followed accusations their assistant chief made against Mayor Robert Jackson in April after residents began complaining of the high volume of tickets they were receiving — tickets that would have increased in number had the police adhered to Jackson’s quotas.
