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.
