According to an article I read today in the Sun-Times, "about 60 million Americans will turn 65 in the next 15 years...". Another article I read (http://www.governing.com/articles/10gmillerb.htm) said that there is a nationwide shortage of entry level police officers. Are you kidding me? I find that hard to believe, because there's about 300 times more applicants than there are positions available. Where are these numbers coming from? Anybody got any stats to share?
From my experience with the testing and hiring process, there's about zero to maybe one opening for every department that's testing in the Chicagoland area, (excluding the major metro depts). Where's all this attrition they keep writing about? Not that I want people to retire, but if they are retiring and there is a "shortage," I sure don't see it!
