Investing in Sergeants and Supervisors
Agencies nationwide and internationally are reporting challenges in maintaining the staffing of both sworn and professional support staff. There is little, if any, debate among law enforcement executives that recruiting challenges today are a major concern for agencies. As agencies struggle to revise and retool decades-long recruiting strategies to meet demand, their daily expectations only increase. Advancements in technology, such as AI, offer as many threats as opportunities. Policing the dark web is a recognized challenge in the profession, necessitating the evolution of specialists among our ranks (PERF, 2019). In a time where agency leaders need to focus on evolving with the nature of crime and leveraging technology, most are swimming in the quicksand of a seemingly constant recruiting loop.
In the “business” side of policing, the majority of agencies are not getting a good return on investment (ROI) from recruiting. The investment in attracting, selecting, and training personnel is multi-faceted and includes the impact of the media and political coverage of events such as Ferguson and Minneapolis, Defund the Police, the retirement bubble, and the preferences and values of Gen Z, where work-life balance is not historically associated with police work.
