Directory of Law Enforcement Agencies, 1992: [United States]
To ensure an accurate sampling frame for its Law
Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) survey,
the Bureau of Justice Statistics periodically sponsors a census of the
nation's state and local law enforcement agencies. This census, known
as the Directory Survey, gathers data on all police and sheriffs'
departments that are publicly funded and employ at least one full-time
or part-time sworn officer with general arrest powers. This data
collection, compiled in July 1992, represents the second such census,
with the first occurring in 1986 (DIRECTORY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES, 1986: [UNITED STATES] [ICPSR 8696]). Variables include
personnel totals, type of agency, geographic location of agency, and
whether the agency had the legal authority to hold a person beyond
arraignment for 48 or more hours.
