Public Safety Personnel, 2001

For the year 2001, there were 11,000 sworn and civilian employees comprising Minnesota’s law enforcement personnel. Statewide, the ratio of all personnel (including State Patrol employees) was 2.5 per 1,000 residents, of which there were 1.6 sworn officers per 1,000. But while rural and urban counties tended to have about the same number of sworn personnel (1.6 versus 1.8 respectively), rural counties tended to have far more civilian employees per 1,000 residents (1.8 versus 0.4 in urban areas).
