Finding broken windows then becomes THE metric that the police force uses to claim its success, ignoring some of the bigger, glaring problems. Rookie officers feel the pressure to go in search of broken windows or even pencil whip a broken windows form. Supervisors are auditing officers on their ability to fill out the broken windows form. A properly filled out form equals success and maybe even a free lunch.

I was comparing the broken windows policy to the "zero tolerance" policy in the petrochemical industry. I assume OP is in the industry, The police dept stuff was just a colorful way of comparing.
