Episode Synopsis
Send us a textPolice agencies are experiencing an increased loss in staffing and complex issues when trying to fill those positions. This week Dr. Joe Schafer from Arizona State University's School of Criminology & Criminal Justice joins the podcast to explore the issue of hiring and retention. Joe goes beyond the obvious factors, such as better pay, to discuss subtle elements of hiring and retention, such as generational considerations in how officers view the occupation, temporary assignments to relieve stress, and agency consolidation to reduce the need for officers to find job enrichment in larger departments. Joe's report can be found at the following:chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://morrisoninstitute.asu.edu/sites/default/files/2024-01/5%20-%20Public%20Service%20Leader%20Interviews%2B%202024.pdfDon't forget to like, FOLLOW, and share.
