A1. Multiple factors influence labor demand for police officers. Some of those factors include;
current police force demographics, reducing overtime, and level of crime.
1. Firstly, the current demographics of the department greatly influence the labor
demand. According to the Memo on the Proposed Employee Referral Plan, the average
age for a current officer is 45 years. This results in 24% of the current police force becoming eligible to retire within the next 5 years. Therefore, it is extremely
important to hire new officers immediately due to the high potential for employee
turnover.
2. Secondly, the mayor has promised relief to the community due to the overall
increase in crime. He plans to combat this rise in crime by increasing the number of
officers employed by the department. The officers will be placed throughout the
community in certain high-crime areas.
3. Lastly, the police department has been under examination concerning excessive
overtime usage. This issue has been presented publicly and is now a major concern to
the community and the mayor.
A2. Many factors influence the labor supply for the police department. According to the memo
on proposed employee referral plan, some of those factors include; the lack of qualified candidates,
climate and the local economy.
1. One factor is the lack of qualified candidates. To join the police department, applicants
must qualify by having experience in policing, corrections, or security. Without it, they are
required to have an associate degree in criminal justice.
22. A second factor is the uncontrolled climate. The cold, unforgiving winters and
extremely warm summers in the northeast make it difficult to attract candidates.
3. The final factor influencing labor supply is the local economy. From tuition to the cost of
living, the prices are too high. Local colleges & Universities tuition fees are among the highest
in the nation. The cost of living is also among the highest in the nation. Also, the state imposes
high property, sales, and income tax rates which has a negative impact on the ability to hire new
officers. The high economic cost discourages people from moving into the city and maintaining a
residence.
B1.
1. Decrease the time span for job acceptance by increasing the number of qualified
referral candidates.
2. Utilizing the realistic job description of City Police Officer by reducing turnover rates
with the new hires.
3. Reach 25 new positions filled by the end of the recruitment period by increasing the
number of internal and external applicants.
