About This Course

Retaining quality officers has presented a challenge to law enforcement agencies for years. In the current climate of anti-police sentiment among prominent activist groups and elected officials and calls to “de-fund the police”—officer retention has become an even greater concern for law enforcement leaders across the country.

In this webinar, Attorney Matt Dolan will utilize the findings from a recent nationwide survey of 1,673 current law enforcement officers conducted by Dolan Consulting Group to discuss:

  • Common causes of high officer turnover
  • The importance of retention surveys in addition to exit interviews
  • Potential generational differences among law enforcement officers—what attracts them to their current agencies and what motivates them to leave
  • Pro-active strategies for retaining quality officers in uncertain times
