BJS Releases "State and Local Law Enforcement Training Academies and Recruits, 2022 – Statistical Tables"
The Bureau of Justice Statistics, in the Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs, today released "State and Local Law Enforcement Training Academies and Recruits, 2022 – Statistical Tables". This report presents statistical tables on state and local law enforcement training academies and law enforcement recruits in 2022.
The report describes the number and types of law enforcement training academies in the United States in 2022 and it presents findings on the characteristics of recruits and training outcomes. Findings in the report are based primarily on the 2022 Census of Law Enforcement Training Academies, the fifth iteration of the data collection.
Conducted periodically since 2002, CLETA collects information from training academies that are responsible for administering mandatory basic training to newly appointed or elected law enforcement officers on recruits, staff, training curricula, equipment and facilities. These academies are operated by state, regional, county and municipal agencies and by universities, colleges and technical schools. Academies that provide only in-service training are excluded from CLETA.
