I read an article about justified police shootings that stated over 75 percent of officers in that situation quit the job within 3 years.
That is probably on the mark. Think about this. Of all the officers that were in shootings that made the national news, how many are still police officers, even if they were cleared.
I can’t think of any.
Then there is this, and this is only one story.
We are not replacing our officers in the numbers that are leaving. This is a nationwide phenomenon. Everyone I work with, including me, tells anyone considering a law enforcement career to look elsewhere.
