National City, CA anticipates future police officer turnover with new hire incentive program

National City, CA New Hire Incentive Police Officer Turnover

The two-year program offers $30,000 bonuses to experienced officers hired from other departments. This incentive is divided into $10,000 increments at hire, following the probationary period, and after two years of service in National City. Local officials anticipate a savings of $45,000 per hire because experienced officers do not attend the city's six-month police academy. National City modeled this incentive after a comparable recruitment effort for police dispatchers.
