Staffing the Ranks: Smart Strategies to Strengthen Law Enforcement Hiring and Retention

Описание: Across the country, law enforcement agencies are facing an unprecedented workforce crisis. A surge in retirements, shrinking applicant pools, and rising public safety demands are leaving departments stretched thin. While lowering standards may seem like a quick fix, it’s not sustainable. Successful agencies are finding better ways forward.

Join us for a high-impact webinar exploring the root causes of the current law enforcement staffing emergency and practical strategies to solve it.

Key recruitment and retention discussion points will include:
• Strategies for expanding candidate pools without compromising standards
• Career development and wellness programs that can improve retention
• New federal and state policies to support staffing goals
• Ways to successfully modernize departmental hiring processes
