With higher attrition and fewer recruits, the LAPD considers resorting to 'the bounce,' which could bring back retired officers. Will it work?
The Los Angeles Police Department is making a simple but unusual pitch to its retired cops: Come back. Please.
“This would allow us to bring back police officers, detectives and sergeants so that they could work for up to one year,” Moore said in an interview this week. “It’s a short-term, interim strategy. It’s not one that I would like to see us become dependent on.” In addition to the proposal to rehire officers, the department is pursuing more traditional solutions to getting more officers into the field.
At a community forum in November, Moore added that the strong economy, in which other, less dangerous jobs are abundant, as well as the rise of remote work, which has allowed people to “work from home in their PJs,” are steering would-be recruits elsewhere. Putting out the call for ex-cops is one thing. Convincing them to come back to work is another, as several cities that pursued similar strategies have learned.
“Many departments are offering cash incentives right now; they’re trying to outdo each other,” said Art Acevedo, the interim police chief in Aurora, Colo., who ran previously ran departments in Houston and Miami. “Many more officers today have bachelor degrees, they have advanced degrees, and consequently they have a lot of other opportunities compared to 20 to 25 years ago.
