What is this graph showing? Is it "Sworn officers per civilian"? Or is it absolute data, just from a single state?
It's interesting, for sure, but certainly difficult to understand or draw any conclusions from without further context.
- pyre 11y agoJust from reading the graph: Figure 1 -- This one I'm not too sure about. It says "Cumulative percent growth in number of full-time sworn personnel." Figure 2 -- It says "Full-time state and local law enforcement employees, 1992-2008". Each bar has "Civilians" "Sworn Officers" and "Total". I'm guessing that this is the break-down of "Sworn Officers" vs "Civilians" from the pool of "Full-time state and local law enforcement employees." Not all of those employees are sworn officers. Figure 3 -- Just like Figure 2, but the numbers are "per 100,000 residents."
