Sioux Falls, SD (KELO AM) – Businesses and government agencies in Sioux Falls are searching for qualified applicants in a market with low unemployment.
One trend nationwide is the number of openings in law enforcement. Many departments are understaffed.
Officer Sam Clemens of the Sioux Falls police department tells KSFY that he is seeing lower numbers, but the department has done a few things to get people in the door.
Rather than testing several times a year, the department is testing monthly, with a follow up interview shortly after the tests.
Clemens says that they will not lower the standards in order to hire more people.
