Why - the “Perfect Storm”Why - the “Perfect Storm” three advancing “low pressure systems”
- changing face – demographics- changing work – demands, complexity- changing management – budgets, governance
an urgency to act- demographic change is relentless- competition for resources are increasing- workforce leadership turnover is underway- demands on public policing - growing more complex- technological advancements expensive- budgets are strained and inflexible
“bottom line” - we’re vulnerable committed, focused and integrated action by all policing is
required immediately

Recruitment …Recruitment … the retirement wave is already well underway and will continue need substantial shift in recruitment practices
- the youth entry cohort is shrinking- more competition among police and others- substantial skill gaps are inevitable
current supply may “appear” to be healthy- BUT - Ipsos-Reid study says differently- substantial skill gaps are inevitable

Youth - tell us …Youth - tell us … value different things - life/work balance key factors in considering a career
- pay and other forms of monetary compensation- having fun at work- opportunities to do interesting work
clearly disinterested- just less than 3% would really consider a policing career- 2008 - mostly males, members of visible minorities, and “East
“Coasters” misperceptions - candidate qualifications
- college education- experience in related field- hiring process expectations - more than 1month is a barrier
policing is not always seen as a positive career choice in many cultural communities

Youth …Youth … negative image - drawbacks
- too dangerous - impact on long term emotional and mental health- long hours / shift work / burnout- work / life balance- divorce- suicide- corrupt, abusive of power, lost moral way
top of list careers - offering the most opportunities- education, healthcare, Internet and high technology, skilled trades
which factors should be considered most important- mental health/stability - fitness level/health- character/ethics/integrity
not seen as impacting chances of being hired- drugs, race, sexual orientation, religious convictions and provenance

Youth - career in policing …Youth - career in policing … Risks outweigh the benefits significant concerns …
- worst career for achieving work-life balance - impacts on family life- psychological/emotional health issues, depressing, frustrating,
traumatizing, tough on personal relationships- dangerous - risk and impact on personal lives
FGs - parents would not permit them to follow a “trades” career- lower paid than most other careers - not providing transferable skills
