The 17th Police Recruitment and Retention Summit

Designed for law enforcement leaders navigating today’s hiring and retention challenges, the 17th Police Recruitment and Retention Summit delivers practical strategies to attract top talent, improve retention, and build supportive, forward-thinking departments.

In today's challenging landscape, departments aren't just competing for candidates — they're rethinking how their entire workforce is built and supported. Beyond a shrinking candidate pool and fierce competition, leaders now face burnout, early attrition, and staffing models stretched thin. The Police Recruitment & Retention Summit moves past traditional recruitment tactics to a modern workforce strategy: strengthening hiring pipelines, designing competitive benefits, supporting officer well-being, and rebuilding the culture that keeps officers on the job.

What to Expect:

  • Women in Law Enforcement Morning Summit dedicated to retention, advancement, and career pathways
  • Sessions on designing benefits and incentives to compete for talent beyond salary
  • Two in-depth workshops on burnout, mental health, and building sustainable support systems
  • A closing session on the role of AI in recruitment and retention
  • Strategies for adapting staffing models to operate effectively with fewer officers
  • All meals and networking receptions included in your ticket
