Typically only 12% of all applicants meet industry “best
practice standards” for sworn employment
SCMPD needs 833 applications to fill each 100vacancies or an average of 70 applications per month

Recruiting & Retention: The Causes

Challenges:
1. Losing officers to surrounding municipalities, counties andother law enforcement opportunities
2. Compensation/Benefits (Pay, Education Incentives, Cars)3. Must be “competitive” with jurisdictions of similar complexities
and difficulty of job functions
4. Recruiting locally has not worked
5. Exit Interviews

Loss of Officers to Surrounding Municipalities & Counties
According to the Georgia Public Safety Training Center:
• Garden City, Port Wentworth, Bloomingdale and Thunderbolthave had NO academy attendees in 5+ years.
• Pooler and Tybee have had “a few” in 5+ years
• They are hiring pre-certified officers from “other” agencies
• SCMPD serves as the “training agency” and supplier of certifiedofficers for other law enforcement agencies in our region at acost of $150,000 per 3-year trained officer.
