This episode of The Beat podcast features Gil Moore’s conversation with Doctors Jenn Rineer and Rick Jacobs, who are industrial psychologists and fellows with the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP), on police recruitment, the challenges that departments are having with attracting new recruits, and the innovative ways that law enforcement agencies might respond to those challenges.
