In professions such as policing that struggle to overcome public opinion regarding reputation, an analysis of this often-overlooked data set offers a unique perspective regarding why applicants may not pursue a submission and why officers resign. Accordingly, 78 online company reviews evaluating police officer employment were downloaded from one of the largest Australian online employment sites. The analysis indicates that whilst not being able to determine recruitment outcomes, the information contained within them is likely to affect potential applicants and increase disinterest in policing careers.
