Assignment:
Police Recruiting and Training
Your department has been concerned about the quality of police applicants. Training is an expensive process for the department, and recently, a substantial number of applicants have not successfully completed the training academy because they have washed out or quit.
As you are recruiting candidates for the department, what types of candidates should you attempt to recruit? What kinds of candidates should your department try to avoid? Are there certain incentives that can be offered to attract highly qualified individuals? If so, what are they? How would you attract individuals who are looking for a career and not a job?
Your answer must be 250 to 300 words in length. Your claims should be supported by the text and/or other academic resources.
