So...a less then 1% turnover after having a dozen of you get shot? Thats not bad at all really.

My last job had a turnover rate of over 50% a year. after one incident with a manager treating people badly we lost 10% that day. 1% is minor.

Who can blame them? Low pay relative to the cost of living in the area only to have everyone hate you and no backing from the leaders of the country and you arent even allowed to do your job


not worth it

I know some hard working good Police also. People just hear what they want too hear and nothing more. They do not hear what police do every single day they are out there to serve and protect.


They put up with more then most people can imagine. And still do it, because they love their job. I agree with what your saying, that happens all over.


It is a no win any more, but People today have no use for authority or respect for our Police. There are good and bad, and just too sad that we cannot all come together to figure out a solution to this mess created.


Oh believe me I have also heard about the attitude they get and quite often.

That IS quite the oxymoron don't you think?

The article was from the Dallas Police Union, no supporting facts as to why they left, nothing. Maybe you have some reasoning behind this but a departure of 48 out of a force of 3,600 is not significant.

Lightbulb Police leave large departments all the time

The reasons were similar to why many big cities lose thousands of police to smaller departments. Big cities train the police officers then smaller cities with better salaries, less risky conditions, draw officers away. You think liberal hot beds like LA, Chicago, and San Francisco have low turnover?

Suburbs of large cities have been attracting larger, metro police for decades. This isn't new. Trying to say one event causes mad exodus simply isn't true.

You don't know what they are paid, you don't know why they are left yet you come to that conclusion.
