Wallkill Police does both “exit” and “stay” interviews as a way to better understand what officers are looking for in their careers: Chief Robert Hertman at PERF meeting on police #recruitment and retention.
Rachel Phillips of @AccenturePubSvc discusses “Reimagining the police workforce.” Future police organizations may consist of a dedicated core of employees supported by a more adaptive workforce (volunteers, academics, temporary specialists). https://t.co/dol1KTp63i
What’s important to police officers that will enhance retention? According to officers at PERF’s #recruitment meeting: scheduling flexibility/work-life balance, professional development opportunities, variety of assignments, agency culture.
Interesting perspective from Ofc. Terry Cherry of @CharlestonPD: police officers don’t necessarily quit agencies, they quit sergeants, lieutenants and other bosses. Meeting participants agree that to retain officers, agencies need to focus on quality of supervision.
