I just think that the past four
years have been particularly
challenging for American policing.
And our survey shows we’re
finally starting to turn a corner, Chuck Wexler, Executive director of PERF, via NBC.

Chuck Wexler, executive director of PERF, warns that many police departments are still struggling to recruit and retain officers.
