Statistics, Data & Hiring

The recruitment crisis has been affecting policing for several years. We need to identify the prior issues that lead to this hiring shortage. We then need to also look at the statistical data that either supports or contradicts our assumptions. Next, we need to look at 2023 and the ramifications of hiring with this shift in policing. If you are a Police Chief today this research is very important on how hiring is going affect the future of your department. We need to review the upcoming reforms and adjust. Could these reforms help with hiring, are they going to make it worse? Is there going to be monies for the mandates? Is the Quinn bill back because educate officers are a better fit going forward? We have an opportunity to discuss these issues as they unfold and hopefully have a vision of hiring in the future.

In a 3-5 page short paper please share your perspective on the challenges facing recruitment of police officers in the future. Remember to include data, to support your writing.
