Dallas is among several cities across the country facing challenges in retaining and recruiting officers. Among the issues is an uptick in retiring officers. “More and more officers are reaching that threshold of being able to afford to leave with their pensions, and they’re deciding to,” Griffith said. “So we’re trying to encourage them to stay with us a little longer because we want that experience and we want that seniority.”Police Chief Eddie Garcíathat the department is still trying to bounce back from hundreds of officers leaving in the mid-2010s amid concerns the city’s Police and Fire Pension System was on the brink of collapsing.
