Since 2016, 25 law enforcement agencies have gone dark, and disbanded police departments have become a reality. From Ohio to Alaska, the epidemic of disbanded police departments is happening quietly and without national attention. Many more lost more than 50% of their staff.
Disbanded Police Departments
Some say that the idea of small agencies is past its time, but we see it differently, and there is no reason any agency, especially a smaller agency, should ever go under. Every city and town in America not only deserves safety, but they deserve it from those who have a vested interest in the community.
The so-called “experts” will say that there is a recruiting “crisis,” but we have proven that to be false. Our partner agencies will attest that the crisis can be avoided, but it takes an “outside the box” approach to recruiting…one that did not have to exist prior to 2016.
We have long recognized that every agency deserves to be fully staffed, and we also recognize that finances can sometimes get in the way of a full-service recruiting campaign. This is why we launched SAFEGUARD Connect.
Our all-in-one Recruiting Platform enables any agency, of any size, to recruit effectively. Here are just some of the features that the platform provides:
- Website & Hosting
- Unlimited messaging (text, phone & e-mail)
- Newsletters & social media posting
- Digital Advertising
- Media Storage & Branding
- Much, Much More…
Smaller agencies can get this robust platform and be on their way to staffing full for as low as $250 per month.
Staffing agencies are full, and our passion is to ensure that every agency, regardless of size, can do the same. Let’s make sure that disbanded police departments are in the past.
Contact us today and start your journey to full staffing.
