Data on Armed Law Enforcement, SWAT on College Campuses?

[Erich G. Simmers]

Hey folks,

Is anyone aware of any studies/data/etc. on numbers of/funding of armed law enforcement including but not limited SWAT on college campus? Thanks!

Best,

Erich

Erich,

One starting point, although showing 2005 data is:http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/index.cfm?ty=tp&tid=76

It cites:

During the 2004-05 school year, the 750 agencies surveyed had more than 25,000 full-time employees, including about 13,000 sworn personnel....These findings are based on the 2004-05 survey of Campus Law Enforcement Agencies (CLEA).

My recollection is that there are magazines aimed at the campus PD community and the best place to start would be your own campus PD.

If you fail PM and I'll ask two friends who are on campus.

Awesome suggestions. I'll look into that. I have been looking into it for my director, and I am guessing she hasn't reached out to the PD. Next time I'm on campus, I'll have to have a conversation with them. I also found some leads in the Campus Law Enforcement Journal.

Thanks, let me do some digging and I'll get back to you.
