That's 52 add that to the above list and you get 64. In a Police Department of only approximately 130 that's approximately a 50% turn over rate. From a management prospective, since our chief has been here, in the past 5 years, half the Department has left. Everyone from Deputy Chief's down to CSAs and the whole detective bureau, people are jumping ship at alarming rates because our leader is quite frankly not capable of leading us.*
This high turnover makes our department move like an un-oiled chain.... Not smoothly at all. When you are Constantly changing personnel you are focused on staffing, not crime. The only people that suffer are the tribe. Crime rates are high because turnover is high. You cant police when there are not*
enough police to police.
Think I'm wrong, think again. Our financial manager that orders out cars bought cars for last years number of officers.... Jo look behind the fire department in Hollywood, hidden there is a sea of *brand new dodge chargers, unable to be issued because there *is nobody to drive them.
And if you think crime, morale, and ordering of cars is where it ends... Well you think shallow.
High turnover leads to high costs. Not just the costs to order and maintain brand new unissued chargers but huge costs associated with initial training, initial equipment issue, medical screening, background checks, interview process
And don't overlook the cost of reduced morale from other workers having to cover the workload of the employee left from the time the employee starts slowing down because they know they are leaving until the time the replacement is hired, trained, and up to speed.
From a management prospective this chief is fiscally irresponsible and incapable of maintaining a force ready to fight crime. His leadership causes half the agency to leave and the other half to be miserable.
You are now eating your words... You said. "If you don't like it leave." now we are struggling to fill patrol shifts and have no detectives to solve crimes.*
The problem is a good leader prepares for the future and you never thought that people would leave or other agency's would be hiring. *Your a recession era leader, the recession is over... We need a real leader.
Most of the people are leaving within the first 12 months of being here.
Stay away from this place the milk is rotten.
