How Recruitment and Retention of Police Officers Remains an Ongoing Challenge

In the October 2018 edition of the POA Journal, I wrote about the challenges facing most law enforcement agencies in our country surrounding the recruitment and retention crisis. In that article which is reprinted on page 9 of this edition, I highlighted the hard work being done by the SFPD to try and keep staffing levels up even though we are not at the mandated 1,971 available full duty police officers per the City Charter.
