Police officers are retiring and quitting

[Thinker101]

Police officers across the country are retiring and quitting at record levels.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, for example, saw retirements increase by 37 percent in 2020. But they claim the rise isn’t related to the push for police reforms across the country.

New York City’s Police Department saw an 87 percent increase in retirements from 2019 to 2020. Union officials in the largest police force in the nation say the exodus is being fueled by pressure by racial advocates to defund police or impose major reforms.

Nearly 20 percent of Minneapolis police officers retired or took leaves of absence following the death of George Floyd. It could get worse. Minneapolis city officials are waiting to see if the leaves of absences become retirements. “It’s serious,” said the VP of the board of trustees for the Policemen’s Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago. “A lot of these people aren’t retiring. They’re quitting,” he said.

Portland, Oregon, has seen months of unrelenting riots. Police officers, some high ranking, are leaving in droves because they say they are “overworked, overwhelmed, and burned out.” These, and some very cutting comments, were part of 31 written exit interviews. Of the 117 officers who left, 43 of them simply quit.

Wonder how many of these cities are filling these positions with social workers.

Good. It's not like it's hard to replace the bad cops.

Why are you assuming that its "bad cops" who are quitting?

Wouldn't it be more likely that competent police officers would be the ones more like to hang up their badges? After all, competent people tend to have more opportunities available for them as other employers are interested in their services.

I wonder what would happen if police just collectively decided to take a sick out one day, and let the criminals know about it.

Probably wouldn't be an issue in the rural areas, but the suburban and urban areas would be in for a very rude shock.

Only a day, make it a week, let it sink in.

If I was a bad police officer, I would realize that my outside opportunities would be limited. If I was dissatisfied,I wouldn't quit, I'd just go to work every day and do a really half assed job, limping my way to a full pension by avoiding trouble by avoiding ugly confrontations with angry black people.

They don't do shit for me so they can all quit

 

[Tommy Tainant]

You should pay them a bit more. You might attract better calibre people.

Something bad must have happened in your childhood that resulted in your never advancing into adulthood. Cases of arrested development as severe as yours seldom happen without trauma.

Why are you assuming that its "bad cops" who are quitting?

Wouldn't it be more likely that competent police officers would be the ones more like to hang up their badges? After all, competent people tend to have more opportunities available for them as other employers are interested in their services.

Because good cops want reform ... they encourage civilian oversight ... are glad to have the general public know everything about how they do their job ... good cops want body cams, let every detail of their day-to-day work be available to the public ...

As a carpenter, my best friends were the building inspectors ... as a business owner I welcomed OSHA with open arms ... great folks to work with ... any honest person would agree ... it's only the greedy evil scumbags who would short-change their own customers ...

It's only the evil cops who want to hide behind their damn Union ... you're just going to have to start solving your own petty problems, and stop calling the police every time the neighbor's dog barks for 58 seconds ...

And hey ... buy a gun ... pack it on your hip ... don't be such a girl about it ...

So then you're admitting it's the incompetents that are keeping their jobs? Because they don't have the opportunities due to their incompetence?

I bet there are and only our dreams make your reality truth.

Nothing wrong with the caliber of people we have right now in the tremendous City of Hermitage.

They certainly look like they are ready to kick ass, I'm not inclined to give them any lip.

They have no clue. They hate authority and accountability and their default is always.......cop bad.

I wasn't admitting a dam thing. I was just challenging the theorem that it is only bad cops who are quitting.

True...they may be frustrated by the "Blue Wall" that protects the bad cops no matter what's going on.

It's called the "Blue Flu" and it's happened many times in major city Police Departments, usually during Union negotiations.
