Retaining quality officers and taking care of the workforce you have are important things for Police Depts to grasp in today’s world! Perhaps starting with proper staffing!

Police Departments Used to Take Recruiting for Granted

Not long ago, departments had hundreds — sometimes thousands — of applicants fighting for just a few positions.

Fast forward to today.

There are now many vacant police positions across the country, and far fewer qualified applicants stepping up.

Departments are panicking.

They’re throwing money at signing bonuses, fancy videos, and big recruiting campaigns.

But here’s the hard truth:

You can’t recruit your way out of a retention crisis.

Departments must learn how to recruit AND retain quality officers.

Treat your current officers right — pay them fairly, support their wellness, and give them real reasons to stay.

Happy officers stay.

Happy officers recruit others.

Stronger Officers. Safer Communities.

Ohio's House Bill 20 is designed to "[allow] first responders to focus on their duties and protect our community." It forbids individuals from remaining within a 15-foot zone around officers after receiving a warning or if their presence interferes with police actions.

Cop Salaries Should Be Adjusted for Supply and Demand

Low supply of police officers.

Rising demand for safety.

Yet the only thing not rising appropriately? Salaries.

🚨 Beverly Hills cops just got a 6% raise. 🚨

Those salaries still make it nearly impossible for officers to live in Beverly Hills.

3% raises no longer work.

If departments and cities want to solve the staffing crisis and make communities safer, they need to start paying market rate.

You get what you pay for.

Stronger Officers. Safer Communities.

With a BIG 4th of July celebrating our nation’s 250th birthday tomorrow, rest assured our members will be standing by to assist when needed. For the Town of Greece celebration, an additional company will be standing by at the town campus along with our partners of Greece Police Uniformed Patrolmen's Association, Inc. and Monroe Ambulance to ensure everyone in attendance are safe. During the professional display, on duty companies will be relocated for a rapid response in the event one is required. Please leave the fireworks to the professionals and please stay safe. Also, the attached photo, though with a touch of humor, it has some reality to it as well.

Celebrate our nation’s birthday responsibly and enjoy!

We asked and 1,777 cops answered. Here's what patrol officers want their leaders to know about life on shift.

You can’t keep giving us more work and expect us to get it done with the same bodies on patrol and hours in the day.”

“We don’t have the time to do everything required of us on a day-to-day basis. Handling calls and documentation takes up way too much time and no time for proactive policing.”

“We’re exhausted and sometimes even being able to go to a training can be a relief from patrol duties.”

“You cannot think you know what should be happening or how it should be happening if you have not worked patrol in a long time.”
