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.
