to
police something means, "to
control, regulate, keep in
order,
administer." Policing
income ensures that the
org is collecting the
income from the
services that it delivers, and that all
org income is channeled into
Treasury and into the
bank without delays. If you follow a
particle of
money through the
org, you see that it gets into the
org, gets exchanged for a
service and gets out of the
org or into
reserves. There is a definite
routing for
money. If the
org fails to collect the
money for the
service that it delivers the
exchange does not occur and there is lost
income. If the
money comes in but does not get to
Treasury and for any
reason gets sidetracked on the
org lines, there is again some lost
income. Through income policing actions, the
Treasury Secretary ensures that the correct
exchange does occur between the
public and the
org, and that the
org does receive the
income expected.
