2020 was a year of unprecedented change and uncertainty for law enforcement agencies. Calls for police reform and defunding dominated headlines in the mainstream media, but the future of the criminal justice system is being dictated and decided by everyone except police officers.
To provide officers a voice in setting the future of policing, Police1 conducted its first State of the Industry survey to understand how the law enforcement profession wants to evolve. More than 4,300 LEOs responded from agencies large and small serving urban, suburban and rural areas.
During this webinar, sponsored by Getac Video Solutions, panelists discussed the findings of the survey, including:
- What causes officers to be satisfied and dissatisfied with their careers and why they may consider leaving law enforcement;
- The criminal justice reforms officers support and the reforms they do not support;
- How police leaders can use the survey data to improve recruitment and retention.
