It's difficult to get a precise number of law enforcement officers in the United States, because the definition of "police officer" varies from one jurisdiction to another, and there are numerous other job titles for people with police powers, such as deputy sheriffs, constables, state troopers, special agents and so on. The federal sector is especially difficult to track, as the federal government doesn't list federal-level police agencies with fewer than 100 officers. Virtually every federal agency or operation has some form of police assigned to it, and many of them are dedicated to that organization. For instance, the National Security Agency, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Pentagon all have police forces of their own. There is even an FBI Police Department that patrols FBI facilities and mans checkpoints at each entrance. That said, here is a list of types and numbers for law enforcement officers in the United States. The figure in parentheses is the year that data was gathered Local police (2000): 440,920 Sheriffs and deputies (2000): 164,711 State police (2000): 56,348 Special Jurisdictions (college, hospital, transit, etc.) (2000): 43,413 Texas constables (2000): 2,630 Tribal police (2000): 1,10 Federal law enforcement officers (2004): 104,884 Total: 814,007 This number does not include correctional (jail and prison) officers, who may have law enforcement authority, depending on their jurisdiction. The emergeny number for police in the US is 911. Or call 411 for ur local state police
Yes, while the Federal Reserve is a quasi-government agency, and the Police are not paid Federally, they have powers granted from The Department of Justice, as Federal Law Enforcement Officers. This comes courtesy of The Patriot Act. New Officers must attend a basic law enforcement recruit academy, accredited by FLETA. It is usually held in Atlanta or New York. New York is said to be the tougher and more regimental academy of the Federal Reserve Police Training Unit. So, your answer is yes, they are real Police Officers, but as with most Uniformed Government Police Agencies, the work is 99 percent physical security.
