| League City Police Chief Michael Jez |
League City Police Chief Michael Jez is under fire, after allegations have surfaced that he is requiring officers to write at least two tickets per day or face disciplinary action.
Ticket quotas are illegal and violate the Texas Transportation Code.
Officer Sean Arena sent his complaint to all of the city's leaders, including the mayor, and to the district attorney and attorney general on Oct. 19.
Arena claimed that he was pressured by the chief and one of his captains to write more tickets.
"Over the period of the past 18 months, there has been a clear push by League City Police administration to ensure League City patrol officers conduct a 'certain amount' of traffic stops each workday," Arena wrote.
When asked for comment, Jez referred all questions to City Attorney Arnold Polanco. Polanco declined to answer questions, citing that city policy prevents him from discussing any case that is under investigation.
