Respondents' average age was 37 years. Over three-quarters were married, 83.5 percent were white, and 94.7 percent were male. While 60.2 percent identified themselves as patrol officers, all other ranks were represented. The average number of years in law enforcement was 12. The survey also collected data on dependents, job responsibilities, shift work, other jobs held, and plans to remain in law enforcement. While 21 percent gave high school as their highest level of educational attainment, 32 percent had proceeded beyond 2 years of college, 23 percent had a baccalaureate degree, and 10 percent had completed postgraduate work. Approximately 70 percent of the respondents indicated that officers in their department would not receive incentive pay for earning college credits and that college programs of interest and permitting part-time enrollment were available to them. Respondents' decisions to enroll in a degree program were most influenced by desires to improve their minds, obtain a degree for personal reasons, learn more about law enforcement, and increase leadership skills. Adequate funds for college courses, and convenient class location, and whether programs provided opportunities for self-directed learning were also influential factors. Overall, the smallest and the largest departments had the lowest educational attainment. The survey questionnaire and 26 references are provided.
