Do officers switch to new precincts very often?

Do officers switch to new precincts for one reason or another very often? I mean, does a rookie come in and decide that he doesn't like this precinct or jurisdiction and move on? Do police move around a lot with the bigger, better deal? My small town only has a force of fifteen officers at a time. But it seems they are always losing and gaining new people. Is there a point where someone may stop them from moving around anymore? Does it hurt their career or help it?

I would be surprised if this didn't happen all the time. Not switch as far as different states, but I think that there are definitely trades within different precincts with the same city. There just has to be.
