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

Unknown. No published data.
we can state the state police, county police, FBI, FTA, secret service. Those are the ones that comes to mind right now.
As of 2007, there are about 4,000 female state police officers, 19,400 female sheriffs' deputies, and 55,300 female police officers.
There are many black policemen. No way to be sure how many there are in the entire USA.
This is really a discussion question, as you will get as many opinions on it as there are people in the country.
The police department of which the officer belonged would be first in line. In many cases the state police are called in as well.
Many departments in many states (but not all) follow this practice. The research is too lengthy and often-times unreliable or unavailable.
One can purchase police toys at many toy stores, such as Toys R Us or in the children's section of Target. These locations offer toy police cars and some offer action figures of police.
In the US, there were 6,181,000 police reported motor vehicle crashes for 2004.
