A General Accounting Office study examined data on pay, recruitment, and retention at thirteen Washington D.C. metropolitan area police forces. In the 2002, fiscal year entry level police salaries differed by over $10,000 across 13 forces. A reported high of $39,427 per year compared to a low of $28,801 per year with only four of the thirteen receiving federal law enforcement retirement benefits. The report also found that pay increases were received by 12 of the 13 police forces between 10/1/02 and 4/1/03 which served to narrow the pay gap. Officials reported that the extent to which officers performed specialized functions varied though officers performed the same types of duties. Turnover at the same forces nearly doubled (375 to 729) between the fiscal years of 2001 and 2002. In 2002, 8 out of the 13 encountered an all time high turnover rate in a 6 year period (1997-2002). The GAO discovered a correlation between the number of separations (354) across the 13 forces and the officers who left to join the Transportation Security Administration (316). Since the staffing for TSA's Federal Air Marshal Program has been significantly completed the increase may have been a single incidence.

The study was designed to examine the high turnover rate in Alaska's Village Public Safety Officers (VPSO) program. The goals were to help guide the design of future delivery of public safety services to Alaska villages and to add to what was a limited understanding of policing in places with tiny populations. The survey instrument was administered to former and currently-serving VPSOs from October 1998 to January 1999. Information was collected on the respondent's motivation for becoming a VPSO, length of time working as a VPSO, if the respondent was satisfied with the pay, retirement benefits, training, housing, and safety, if it was difficult for the respondent to enforce laws against relatives, the respondent's perception of the community's support and expectations, and their job-related stresses, role conflicts, duties, and demands. Those who had left the job were also asked about their post-VPSO employment. Demographic variables include the respondent's age, race, sex, marital status, education, military experience, and whether the officer was an Alaska Native.

This dataset was created to facilitate the conversion of Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program state and county codes to Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) state and county codes. The four UCR agency-level data files archived at ICPSR in Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data: [United States] (ICPSR 9028) contain UCR state and county codes as geographic identifiers. Researchers who wish to use these data with other sources, such as Census data, may want to convert these UCR codes to FIPS codes in order to link the different data sources. This file was created to facilitate this linkage. It contains state abbreviations, UCR state and county codes, FIPS state and county codes, and county names for all counties present in the UCR data files since 1990. These same FIPS codes were used to create the UCR County-Level Detailed Arrest and Offense files from 1990-1996.

This page is a portal to the data, including published statistical data, interactive online data access tools, and downloadable public use data files.
