A significant number of folks join their local PD and then decide law enforcement isn’t for them when they find out there are no more peace officer positions.
Can you elaborate a little? Does the post mean that people might join their local PD in non sworn positions and then leave because there are no sworn jobs open? In this case, they could not be ex-cops.
Or do you mean people might join their local PD and decide that this is not what they wanted, but they quit because there are no peace officer jobs elsewhere?
