The Hidden Costs of High Turnover in Law Enforcement
The Financial Burden of Turnover
Replacing a single officer can cost an agency over $100,000. This amount encompasses recruitment, training, and field readiness, not to mention the costly overtime that essential teams incur due to staff shortages. High turnover adversely impacts productivity and team morale, creating a cycle that's difficult to escape.
