minus-squareEssentialCoffee@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoThe payoff for one job is the same as it is for any other job. Pay & Benefits. Can’t attract anyone to do your job? Increase pay & benefits. Hazard pay is 100% a thing that exists. Also, reevaluate who needs to do what jobs. Does a cop need to do wellness checks or would a social worker be better suited?
minus-squarewhatisallthis@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·2 years agoYeah I think they’d definitely have to increase pay and benefits in this scenario. It’s just gonna be hard sell convincing people to vote for politicians that say “we need to increase your taxes to increase police pay and benefits”.
minus-squareEssentialCoffee@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoHow? Right now they increase taxes to pay for military grade weapons for the police to use on citizens and people vote for it just fine.
