When new recruits of all ages lose interest in the job quicker then it took to become certified, there is a problem... There need to be a major change in law enforcement. Most agencies are having recruitment and retention problems. I think most of can think of reasons why but the ones with the power to make positive changes don't.. why? It makes no sense...!?!?
