Census of Law Enforcement Training Academies, 2002: [United States]

The 2002 Census of Law Enforcement Training Academies
(CLETA02) was the first effort by the Bureau of Justice Statistics
(BJS) to collect information from law enforcement training academies
across the United States. The CLETA02 included all currently
operating academies that provided basic law enforcement training.
Academies that provided only in-service training,
corrections/detention training, or other special types of training
were excluded. Data were collected on personnel, expenditures,
facilities, equipment, trainees, training curricula, and a variety of
special topic areas. As of year-end 2002, a total of 626 law
enforcement academies operating in the United States offered basic law
enforcement training to individuals recruited or seeking to become law
enforcement officers.
