HAIL TO THE BLUE!
ISSUE 456 • JULY 26, 2010

hey can be daunting when they hide behind a tree with an eye out for speeders. They can be a pain in the neck when the red lights are flashing and you’re the one they’re pulling over. However – they can be a bright star in the dark of the night when you’re alone on the side of the road with a stalled car. And they can be a godsend when a burglar is rattling the living room doorknob. The police are the only human beings in America who can wreak havoc with lives – or save them. In 2008, the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics reported there were 883,600 police officers and detectives in the United States. About 79 percent were employed by local governments; state police agencies employed 11 percent and federal agencies employed the others. From the early watchmen to today’s undercover cops, law enforcement in the United States has dramatically evolved over the years.
