The Dilemma of Wandering Officers
This chapter examines the trend of 'wandering officers'—police who frequently change jobs, often due to past misconduct. It discusses the challenges faced by smaller police agencies in hiring and the implications for community safety, particularly in diverse neighborhoods. Additionally, the chapter highlights the complexities of job mobility in policing, including legal barriers and pension systems that affect officer retention and recruitment.
