Recent court rulings are protecting officers more than before, and larger hiring bonuses and salaries are easing some understaffing.
New rules also compelled most police to wear body cameras tracking almost every move they make. All this has been fallout from the death of Black suspect George Floyd in Minneapolis during his 2020 arrest. Late summer brought a fast turnabout for law officers in many places, though.
Incentives also include free gym memberships and dry cleaning for uniforms in many cities. The richest benefits for rookie cops, though, are in Alameda, where the force had vacancies in about a third of its authorized positions just last spring. Money changed this quickly. First came the state’s Fresno-based 5th District Court of Appeal, where a three-judge panel ruled early this fall that committing documented perjury as a sworn witness may not be enough to guarantee a cop’s firing.
