Abstract:
Since its inception in 1982, turnover
has been a problem for Alaska's Village Public Safety Officer (VPSO) Program.
This study employed principal components analysis methods to identify factors
from the results of a survey of 113 VPSOs for use in an event history regression
model to explain officer attrition. The results of the event history analysis
indicate that Alaska Native heritage, marriage, satisfaction with training,
a lack of absolute poverty, and the presence of other peace officers in
the work situation were all associated with a decreased likelihood of officer
turnover. The implications of these findings for rural police officer recruitment
and retention are discussed.
