The Bureau of Justice Statistics has released the dataset from the 2020 Census of Federal Law Enforcement Officers (CFLEO) through the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data. The CFLEO collects information on the number of officers, their demographic characteristics, and their job functions, as well as hires and separations, hiring practices, and policies regarding equipment at federal law enforcement agencies.
The CFLEO collects information from every federal law enforcement agency, excluding the U.S. Armed Forces, federal officers stationed in foreign countries, and selected agencies due to security concerns.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice is the principal federal agency responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating reliable statistics on crime and criminal justice in the United States. Alexis R. Piquero, PhD, is the director.
