Minority Recruitment: Mobilizing the Community for Minority Recruitment and Selection
This document introduces the Police Recruitment and Placement—Community Collaboration Model and discusses its application in Hartford, Connecticut. This model seeks to position a police agency and its parent government to mobilize the community to help increase the number of minorities who apply for police positions, and successfully complete the selection process. The minority recruitment model is fully replicable in cities across the U.S. and has the potential to help any size or type of police agency diversify its workforce.
