OGDEN, Utah — All year, FOX 13 News has been interviewing Ogden police officers who have shown examples of being pressured to write more tickets – even after meeting department expectations. Lawmakers say those expectations are an example of an illegal police quota. The Utah State Legislature banned quotas in 2018 after learning some police departments were treating drivers like piggybanks for the city. On Monday, legislators with the Administrative Rules and General Oversight Committee summoned Chief Eric Young and Mayor Mike Caldwell to the Utah State Capitol to explain.
