Steve Watt: President of the Police Association discusses survey finding most cops have considered quitting in the past year

Fifty seven per cent of cops have considered quitting in the last year.

That's according to a new Police Association survey, which asked 6000 officers. 

Key concerns from officers were salaries, as well as resourcing. 

Police say attrition is hovering between 4.5 and 5 percent - but association president Steve Watt told Heather du-Plessis Allan that the result can't be ignored. 

He says the job's risky, weighs heavily on wellbeing - and the result proves the pressure officers are under.
