I got a tough question?

How many Police officers are in America? i want the number of cops in the United States.


    




Mr. Happy
The answer to this question can be found on the Department of Justice website. They do a census every few years asking police agencys to sumbit how many sworn officers they have.

As of 2004 there were 836,787 police officers. This is federal, state, local, sheriff,...

Im not sure after how many years it gets updated. Its probably around evey 3 years or so.

Well, there's never one around when some ****** blazes past you at 90mph in a 55, but they're always around when you run that yellow/red light.

Too many times one billion! Even one of them is too many! What good are they anyway? If they were all to go on strike for a year the world would probably improve! Just like in CA. when the doctors went on strike for one or two weeks and the number of deaths dropped to almost zero!

google it, i did. but i'm too lazy to sift through the results for you, lol.

all i know is that posse comitatus is shriveling up and we'll have full blown military/police forces patrolling our streets and pushing us around before we know it.
