The Syracuse Police Department's New Recruitment Ads



Seven Syracuse University student teams presented their advertisement campaigns for the Syracuse Police Department today. The purpose of the ads are to promote the Syracuse Police Department and to help them with the recruitment of new police officers, not just in Syracuse, but in other states across the country.

The City of Syracuse Deputy Police Chief Frank Fowler says their biggest problem is that they have a small pool to choose from and all law enforcement agencies in town are using the same recruitment list from Onondaga County personnel to recruit new officers.

In addition, another challenge that the Syracuse Police Department has to deal with is not only competing with all the other law enforcement agencies in town, but outside agencies, such as Rochester, New York City and Buffalo.

With a new marketing plan, they are hoping to be competitive on the job market. Now all they are waiting for is the funding to be approved by City Hall.
