Of the approximately 17,700 local and state law enforcement agencies in the United States, 72% employ 25 or fewer full-time equivalent (FTE) sworn officers and 50% employ ten officers or less.
These departments often have unique challenges that include severe staffing and financial shortages.
The Professional Association of Small Law Enforcement Executives (PASLEE) is dedicated to supporting the men and women entrusted with the leadership and management of these smaller agencies. We invite you to join us.
