That was the mixed message the Police Department delivered yesterday to skeptical members of the City Council. Some of them accused the department of imposing a stealth tax on New Yorkers through a concerted ticket blitz in recent years. Police officials denied that accusation, and said they did not force ticket writers to meet numeric goals.

But in careful language, they acknowledged closely tracking the number of tickets issued and using that data to assess the productivity of parking agents.
