Academics at the University of Portsmouth carried out interviews with police officers who have voluntarily resigned. These indicated that police officers are more likely to leave due to poor leadership, lack of promotion opportunities, organisational inflexibility and a feeling that they have no voice rather than because of pay or stress. Learn more about this research and the frontline experience of Greater Manchester Police where it has put in place meaningful 'stay' interviews. Find out why people leave, the quick wins and long term changes that can be made to improve retention in the future.
