U.S. police agencies have long relied on prior military experience or prior law enforcement experience to fill vacancies within their ranks. Yet few have tested whether such experiences affect officer tenure within policing. In this work, PSO Partner Bradley O'Guinn, Elias Nader, Dannelle Goldberg, and PSO Partner Anthony Gibson use hiring and employment data from the Charleston (SC) Police Department to assess whether these experiences influence officer retention. They find that officers with prior military service were significantly more likely to leave the agency and to do so about 20 months sooner than officers who did not serve in the military. They also find that prior law enforcement experience was unrelated to officer separation but that officers with such experience tended to remain longer with the agency. These findings suggest that police agencies should reevaluate current approaches to recruitment and retention. They also suggest the need for further research on why certain officers are more likely to resign and how agencies can better address the underlying needs of officers at high risk of separating.

At a United Nations dialogue on police reform today, I shared the following thoughts: • The name of the police should be changed to “People’s Police” to reflect their role in serving the citizens. Their uniforms, titles, and overall identity should clearly demonstrate accountability to the public. • During police training, they must be taught that they, like the rest of us, are citizens of this country, and they should learn how to treat fellow citizens with respect and fairness. • Police duty hours need to be regulated. Being perpetually on duty is neither a civilized nor a healthy work structure. • Lastly, police officers need to be trained to respect citizens as individuals, moving away from the colonial mindset of treating people as “subjects.” Respecting citizens as equals will foster mutual respect. #PoliceReform #Bangladesh #UNDP #UNWomen #UNFPA #UNICEF #SERAC_Bangladesh #IdeasToBuildANewBangladesh

The most patriotic duty of every citizen is to bring about positive change... How are you using your talent for GOOD? Is your company hiring talented professionals living in the U.S. first? Is your government representatives role modeling the values required of 1st World Leaders? Are you kind to your neighbors, police officers, and teachers too? We are all responsible to bring about positive change. #PositiveAmericana #UnitesUS #DoYourPart #BeaRoleModel #UseYourTalentforGood #WeAreRecruitingforGood @ASweetDayinUSA
