The Police Shortage in America.

The Police Shortage in America.

Police departments can't recruit enough people. This has major negative impacts upon society.


One simple means of addressing this is to promote careers in security: most police start there.


The International Foundation for Protection Officers (IFPO) has a Career Center which gives a good snapshot of the security industry. It provides information on training, professional associations and the like.


And it is free!


Please disseminate the Career Center.


It can help a lot of folks!
