Book Description
As of June 1997, there were more than 700 general-purpose State and local law enforcement agencies with 100 or more full- time sworn personnel that included 50 or more uniformed officers responding to calls for service. These larger agencies collectively employed about 381,000 full-time sworn personnel, including 226,000 officers assigned to respond to calls for service. Nearly all the agencies provided data in response to the 1997 Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics survey sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Survey respondents included 454 municipal police departments, 167 county sheriff departments, 30 county police departments, and the 49 primary State law enforcement agencies operating in each State except Hawaii. Detailed statistics are provided on police personnel, expenditures and pay, operations, equipment, computers and information systems, policies and programs, community policing, and State agencies. The survey questionnaire is appended.
