Perhaps we should treat the cops as if they were "innocent until proven guilty"? Just leave them to do there job until they are suspected of slacking on the job. That way the extreme monitoring procedures are only used on a few slackers.

I know, dumb idea when they do just the opposite with us. Just a thought.

It's not possible sadly because budgetary oversight requires metrics. I don't think giving the cops a budget without oversight is a good solution and part of that oversight requires tracking how much crime they're preventing or answering which again creates quotas just for the purpose of maintaining numbers.
