[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it will have an impact.  First, no one thinks it will happen to them, e.g. they don’t think they will make a mistake or use excessive force, and for an overwhelming majority of cops they are correct.  Second, it is a steady well paying job (yes it could pay more, but it is still not a bad salary).  Third, it is more exciting than other jobs and people who like excitement will always be attracted to it.  [/quote]

Have you seen the recruitment numbers?  That academy classes are basically empty.  They can’t get candidates already.[/quote]

Someone from within needs to step up and denounce the bad part of LE for what it is. You guys need a Fauci effect -- people were expecting to have fewer people interested in medicine and nursing after the pandemic hit, but numbers increased. Young people want to do good things. They want to have an effect on the world, to make a difference. LE's reputation has gone down every year, as more things come out. The fact that fewer people want to be a part of that may not actually be a bad sign.

If LE as a profession turns this around, they might get a bigger crop of better candidates overall.[/quote]
