About The Position

EAB is seeking a Police Recruitment Strategy Consultant to support the development and positioning of services tailored to law enforcement agencies.

Recruitment Strategy Design: Inform strategies to help agencies attract and convert qualified graduates into law enforcement careers.

They understand both the internal realities of police recruitment and the external perception challenges facing departments today.
