Abstract
The information provided permits comparative analysis of population, agency size, staffing, entry requirements, compensation ranges, and benefits for 1989. The agencies covered by the information include police and public safety departments, county sheriffs' departments, university and college campus police departments, marshals' departments, district attorneys' departments, and California State agencies. Employment data statistics address distribution of personnel by agency type, number of personnel by category in police and sheriffs' departments, peace officer personnel by county, and ratio of officers to population in police and sheriffs' departments. Employment, waiver, and certificate information encompasses minimum standards for employment, immigration and peace officer citizenship requirements, waiver of attendance, and the Peace Officer Standards and Training Certificate Program. The waiver examination is provided for out-of-State peace officers or former California peace officers seeking to return to law enforcement after a 3-year break in service. Agency and academy addresses are listed.
