County Law Enforcement Advancing Recruitment & Retention Cohort (CLEARR)
Sections
NACo is launching the County Law Enforcement Advancing Recruitment & Retention Cohort (CLEARR Cohort) to support county law enforcement agencies in implementing and evaluating recruitment and retention strategies. Selected county law enforcement agencies will participate in a year-long cohort focused on implementing one evidence-informed recruitment or retention approach within their local context.
Participating counties will be paired with a national research partner to assess the impact of their selected strategy and better understand what is driving results. Counties will also engage with peer jurisdictions to share experiences and lessons learned. Throughout this project, counties will contribute to a growing body of knowledge about law enforcement workforce challenges and opportunities at the county level.
