(1) Data reported are the number of law enforcement employees
for the state of New Jersey.

(2) Data reported are the number of law enforcement employees
for the state of New York.

NOTE: Caution should be used when comparing data from one state
to that of another. The responsibilities of the various state
police, highway patrol, and department of public safety agencies
range from full law enforcement duties to only traffic patrol,
which can impact both level of employment for agencies as well
as the ratio of sworn officers to civilians employed. Any valid
comparison must take these factors and the other identified
crime factors (see page v) into consideration.
