Cop Stats

The US Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, has published two sets of data under the Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics series.

• Sheriffs' Offices, 2003
• Local Police Departments, 2003

Both releases cover topics such as personnel, budget and pay, operations, community policing, policies and procedures, equipment, and computers and information system. Departments are categorized by size of population served. Only the largest departments are identified.
