Facing officer shortages that have exacerbated the nationwide crime problem, police departments around the country are offering increasingly large incentives as they fight for badly needed recruits.
from the Police Executive Research Forum found police officer resignations increased 42.7% between 2019 and 2021, contributing to a dip nationally in the number of officers available to respond in departments across the country.
Applicants would receive $10,000 before attending even one day of training at the police academy; they would receive the other half of the bonus after completing the training.police department offers other generous staffing incentives on top of the bonus, including $6,000 in rental assistance and a pledge to put any officer moving from more than 50 miles away in a hotel for up to two weeks while he or she finds housing.
While Loftus said the full extent of the incentive’s effects on staffing levels is not yet known because applicants have to go through a lengthy vetting process, he noted that “initially, things do look like it has made a positive impact.”
