CRJ102 (Intro to Law Enforcement) Unit 1 Study Notes

 Chapter 2
o The U.S. approach to law enforcement is unique when compared
with the rest of the world.
o Japan and some western European countries- Denmark, Finland,
Greece, and Sweden- have a single national police force.
o The U.S. does not have a national police force, although many
people think of the FBI as one.
o Local control: the formal and informal use of local and
neighborhood forms of government to deter abhorrent behaviors.
o In 2008, state and local governments in the U.S. operated almost
17,985 full time enforcement agencies.
o These included 12,501 local police departments (mostly
municipal and county departments), 3.063 sheriff's offices and
50 primary state police departments.
o When we translate all these statistics into words, we can make
some generalizations and identify trends about the U.S. law
enforcement industry
 The size and scope of the U.S. law enforcement industry
are enormous.
 The U.S. law enforcement industry is tremendously diverse
and fragmented.
 The U.S. law enforcement industry is predominantly local.
 There are many employment opportunities in U.S. law
enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels.
o Nationwide, in 2008, there were 251 full-time state and local law
enforcement employees for every 100,000 residents, for a
nationwide sworn law enforcement employee average of 2.51
law enforcement employees per 1,000 citizens.
 The states with the highest law enforcement averages:
 District of Columbia; 7.22
 Louisiana; 4.05
 New York; 3.89
