2012 LAW ENFORCEMENT EMPLOYEES
The Montana Board of Crime Control (MBCC) conducts an annual employee survey of the state’s law enforcement agencies. The survey is used to determine the number and type of personnel employed by Montana law enforcement agencies as of October 31 of that year. The law enforcement agencies include police departments, county sheriffs’ offices, state agencies whose employees have the power of arrest, Tribal law enforcement, agencies, university police, and airport security. Federal employees working in Montana i.e., Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Agency, and Border Patrol are not included in the survey. A total of 94 police departments and sheriff’s offices responded to the 2012 survey. Information for the following seven sheriff’s offices was not available: Bighorn, Dawson, Granite, Missoula, Powell, Roosevelt, and Yellowstone. Information for the following nine police departments was not available: Bridger, Brockton, Eureka, Joliet, Lewistown, Libby, Pinesdale, Three Forks, and University of Montana. MBCC would not be able to present this information if it weren’t for the cooperation of these law enforcement agencies. The effort and time that went into completing the survey are greatly appreciated. Sworn officers are those with the power to make arrests. A sworn officer may be either a staff or line officer. Staff officer functions are primarily administrative, while a line officer mainly provides direct services. Civilian employees in sheriffs’ offices and police departments typically include the detention officers, dispatchers, records employees, and office staff. They do not have powers of arrest. Part-time law enforcement officers have the same powers as full-time officers. Reserve employees are part-time volunteer members of a law enforcement agency. The appointing authority has control of a reserve officer’s scope of authority. An estimated total population of 1,005,141 for 2012 was used to calculate the statewide rate per capita. This population includes police departments and county sheriffs’ offices. The United States Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, provides this estimated population. An additional 14,153 was used to account for Montana State University students. Family members of students living in university housing are included.
