Abstract:
|
Using agency classifications, the report presents the number of

the following: Duties for Federal officers included criminal
investigation (40 percent), police response and patrol (22
percent), corrections (18 percent), noncriminal investigations
and inspection (14 percent), court operations (4 percent), and
security and protection; INS (1,447) had the largest increase in
number of officers; next was the Veterans Health Administration
(1,263), which continued its program to expand firearm authority
to its entire police force, followed by the Customs Service
(1,112), and BOP (748); women accounted for 14.8 percent of
Federal officers in 2002; minority representation was 32.4
percent in 2002, up from 30.5 percent in 1998; Hispanic or Latino

African-American or Latino officers comprised 16.8 percent of
