BJS has released the dataset from the 2018 Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies (CSLLEA) through the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data. The CSLLEA serves as a complete enumeration of law enforcement agencies in the United States and collects information on government authority, budget, functions, and personnel.
The CSLLEA compiles data from all law enforcement agencies that employ at least one full-time equivalent sworn officer with general arrest powers and are operated by state and local governments.
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.
