| Abstract: |
Based on the 1999 LEMAS survey, the report presents data collected from a representative sample of more than 13,000 general-purpose local police departments nationwide. Tables describe the number and size of agencies, job classification of personnel, agency functions, and written policies and procedures. Highlights include the following: (1) from 1997 to 1999, the percent of residents served by departments that routinely used bicycle patrol increased from 66 percent to 76 percent, the percent served by a department that used routine foot patrol increased from 59 percent to 68 percent; (2) more than 90 percent of the departments serving 25,000 or more residents had some type of community policing plan; and (3) all departments serving 25,000 or more residents used computers during 1999, as did all of those serving 2,500 to 24,999 residents.
