The landscape of law enforcement recruitment has shifted dramatically. Not long ago, there was an oversupply of police officers, making it tough to secure a position. Many officers had to apply to multiple departments, just hoping to get a foot in the door. Today, the tables have turned. Departments are now struggling to find qualified candidates and are often forced to lower their standards to fill vacancies. Officers, the power is in your hands. Take the time to research potential departments, talk to fellow officers, and choose an environment that values you—not just as an employee, but as a person. Look for a department that supports your physical, mental, and financial well-being. In this new era, finding the right fit is crucial. You deserve to be in a place that appreciates your dedication and commitment. #LawEnforcement #PoliceOfficers #CareerAdvice #WellBeing #FinancialFreedom

Law enforcement has faced a recruiting crisis in recent years, which has only been exacerbated by the "Ferguson Effect." Unfortunately, this issue has also affected South Florida, where politics have played a significant role in policing. The hiring crisis appears less acute in SW, central, and northern Florida. The Polk County Sheriff's Office, FL can serve as an example of how supporting sworn personnel makes it a department people want to work for and remain with. To learn more about this issue from the South Florida perspective, check out this article from Local 10 News. #LawEnforcement #RecruitingCrisis #SouthFlorida #Politics #Policing

I remember a time when some Police Departments and Police Chiefs held strong beliefs against hiring bonuses. One Chief shared his philosophy, “I will not get into a bidding war for anyone, they either want to work here or not.” With the recruitment and retention crisis Law Enforcement nationwide, no Law Enforcement Agency today can remain competitive in recruiting without a hiring bonus. Yes, there are going to be ramifications and issues that arise from ever growing hiring bonuses. Some of this problems may be: 1) Free agent officers that bounce from one agency to another to collect hiring bonuses. 2) The creation of an atmosphere of have and have not agencies similar to the have and have not teams in professional sports (Yankees vs. Royals). But, if agencies do not have the people to staff the patrol vehicles and 9-1-1 dispatch terminals they can not protect and serve your community so you must do whatever you can to bring the best candidates you can to you department. I wonder how much higher these bonuses will go? #police #policedepartment #officer #officer #dispatchers #dispatch #cop #cops #policechief #sheriff #lawenforcement #lawenforcementofficer #hiring #retention #copscountpolicematter #policingmatters International Association of Chiefs of Police Police Executive Research Forum Major Cities Chiefs Association FBI National Academy Associates, Inc.

The problem of hiring more police officers is solvable, but not until law enforcement modernizes their recruitment. The old ways aren't working, but there are solutions through innovation. #recruitment #hiring #policehiring #talentacquisition #innovation #policehiringsolutions

According to recent research, four of the largest metropolitan police departments were “collectively down over 5,400 officers during 2022 and 2023.” The data also shows that law enforcement has been experiencing a “drastic decrease in the number of recruits — 27% to 60%, depending on the area.”?? Moving forward, agencies must employ effective strategies to fill vacancies within their force. Beyond traditional approaches, law enforcement agencies are now also looking to advanced technologies like Kustom Signals’ Speed Awareness products to further their recruitment efforts.

For those who have been following me, you know my stance on asking about employment gaps. It's unprofessional and can lead to legal issues. This morning a man was released after wrongly charged with murder, spent six months in jail, and lost his job. Even after being found innocent, how does he explain this gap to potential employers? Let's be better humans and stop probing about employment history. Who’s to say it won’t be you or me that this happens to next. #EmploymentGaps #Professionalism #Humanity

Firms should do more to recruit, employ and retain people who have convictions or lived experience with the criminal justice system to broaden talent pools and address labour shortages. #recommendations #businessbenefits #vitalskills #facilitiesmanagement

Law Enforcement Facing Staffing Shortages! The crisis in police staffing is severe, with some departments forced to close entirely. Contributing factors include pandemic burnout, aging workforces, and hostility toward police. Joe Gamaldi of the Fraternal Order of Police highlights: Political Climate: Rogue DAs, activist judges, and lax justice create low morale. Recruitment Challenges: Fewer candidates due to perceived job risks and lack of law enforcement respect. Policy Issues: Washington's new law allowing DACA recipients to apply for civil service jobs, further complicating recruitment. Address this crisis. Connect with me to discuss enhancing your recruitment, marketing, and leadership strategies for law enforcement roles. #StaffingSolutions #LawEnforcement
