Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : We need to reassure prospects that law enforcement is a great career with a great pension, and it's probably the most exciting, exhilarating job on the planet, and you get to make a difference.
58% : In general across the country, recruiting is a challenge for law enforcement.
56% : The upcoming $25 million Reality-Based Training Center will allow law enforcement to train with private resort security officers, firefighters and medics.
52% : With the return of large events, collaboration with partner law enforcement agencies will remain key, because I don't see Metro getting any substantial increases in the number of officers that we need.
52% : Marijuana is legal now.
45% : Obviously, we can't have officers smoking marijuana, but is it really a disqualifier that you previously consumed marijuana a number of times?
42% : Also, nobody ever seems to talk about women in law enforcement.
38% : With legal marijuana that can't be smoked in public, I'm in favor of consumption lounges, because even though marijuana was legalized, that didn't remove the illegal trade.
