[quote=CA renter]Like I’ve pointed out in other posts, the recruitment and training invested in these public safety employees (along with the fact that experience is highly valued) means that public employers cannot afford to have a high turnover rate.[/quote]
Maybe a solution would be to have them sign a contract saying that during the good times they can’t quit their “overcompensated” job to make more money elsewhere. Or if they want to leave, they have to pay the city money to make up for all the training costs, etc.
I read that when all said and done it costs the city 100k to fully train a cop from the day they start academy, field training, etc to when they are on their own, almost two years.
