Has anyone else noticed the trend of our department letting possible police applicants go. We keep hiring applicants from outside the department and our own people are turned away without a fair shot. Not to say that the outside applicants aren't quantified, but we have many qualified applicants within. You would think that if our Dispatchers, PSA's, Ect want to continue a career as a police officer our department would love to have them aboard, but that seams to not be the case. Just offering up an observation.
