Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Training Academies, 2006

Published by Bureau of Justice Statistics | Department of Justice | Metadata Last Checked: November 14, 2025 | Last Modified: 2012-09-13T09:01:46
As of year-end 2006 a total of 648 state and local law enforcement academies were providing basic training to entry-level recruits in the United States. State agencies approved 98 percent of these academies. This data collection describes the academies in terms of their personnel, expenditures, facilities, curricula, and trainees using data from the 2006 Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Training Academies (CLETA) sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). The 2006 CLETA, like the initial 2002 study, collected data from all state and local academies that provided basic law enforcement training. Academies that provided only in-service training, corrections and detention training, or other special types of training were excluded. Federal training academies were also excluded.
