Italy in 5th place? Depending on the use the governement want to give to the police, it can be a very good o very bad thing... It means that there are more than 300,000 police in a country of 60,000,000 people, a Police State... |

I did a little research into you question Jack. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics,( http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/lawenf.htm) in 2004 there were 836,787 sworn police officers in the United States Federal, State, County, and Local. This number excludes Part-Time or Reserve Police Officers. According to Fact Monster, (http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0004986.html), the US Census Bureau estimated the US population in 2004 to be 293,655,404. This means that the US police per capita, per 1,000 people, is (836,787/293,655,404)*1000 = 2.849554 This places us at 22 on the list moving South Africa down to 23 and so on. |
