Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies, 2022

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) requests clearance to conduct the 2018 Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies (CSLLEA). Historically, the CSLLEA generates an enumeration of all publically funded state, county, local and tribal law enforcement agencies operating in the United States and provides complete personnel counts for the approximately 20,000 law enforcement agencies operating nationally. For the purposes of the CSLLEA, a “law enforcement agency” is a publically-funded government entity responsible for enforcing laws, maintaining public order, and promoting public safety. To be within scope of the CSLLEA, a law enforcement agency must employ the equivalent of at least one full-time sworn officer with general arrest powers. BJS has conducted the CSLLEA periodically since 1986, making the 2018 administration the seventh wave of data in the statistical series.
