DETROIT (WWJ) – Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, police departments in Michigan and across the country have struggled to attract new officers, but the efforts to do so are not lacking.
The Detroit Police Department is using a $10,000 raise to re-attract officers who left for better wages elsewhere, while others are getting creative when it comes to recruitment, including certain mental health benefits.
On this National Police Week, WWJ's Zach Clark explores on a new Daily J podcast how law enforcement is recruiting the next generation.
