Anyone ever notice more cops on certain days

I don't know if it's just my town or what, but some days I never see a cop while cruising around. On other days I see them all over the place. Just an observation. Maybe there is an officer that can explain why.

I see them a lot on any of the days at the end of the month, probably trying to meet their quotas [&:]

i don't care how many stories in the news there are about "the police force does not use a quota system" ...there is DEF a difference...right around the beginning and then at the very end of the month the 5-0 is out in full force...rest of the time, you'll never see one...that's been my observation anyway

Local cops, i don't pay attention to them.. They come to visit me once in a while to bs with me or my dad..

State Troopers, thats a diff ball game.. I travel 40 miles ONE WAY every day that i go to work.. Mondays-Weds, not to bad.. Thurs, i see one or two.. Fri, Sat, and Sun, they are traveling everywhere.. But i do live 25 mins from the Tennessee State Trooper Head Quarters..

End of the month, weekend nights, and nice days where people are going to be out being stupid is when I see them the most.

Whenever I decide to do a 100+ MPH sprint for whatever reason (at least it sure seems that way...).

you know there is an off topic section right?

LOL. Quota. I am sure you see more patroling when there are less calls for service. Also, there are more units on assigned times when people are out and about. IE sporting events, weekend nights, etc.
