The process of recruiting, vetting and hiring qualified applicants
represents one of the greatest challenges confronting law enforcement.
Agencies are looking to new recruiting strategies well beyond putting
out the “help wanted” sign. This is particularly true as agencies
recruit men and women of the millennial generation.
This course will introduce attendees to a variety of innovative
recruiting strategies being implemented throughout the country to meet
the challenges of recruiting, particularly recruiting with an emphasis

navigate the hiring process while minimizing legal liability risks along
the way—from recruiting to hiring interviews to background
investigations to the probationary process.
