[edit] Numbers

I don't know where the 2005 per capita numbers come from saying WSP was the 3rd smallest per capita, but the Sourcebook, which has 2000 and 2004 numbers, says Wisconsin is the smallest with 508 sworn officers equating to 9 per 100,000 population in 2000.[1] and 510 sworn officers in 2004 again the smallest per capita equating to 9 per 100,000.[2] The highest per capita that I see is Delaware with 77 per 100,000 not California with only 20 per 100,000. Maybe something got confused between per capita and normal smallest vs largest, but the 2004 data shows Wisconsin being something like 11th in number of sworn personnel not 3rd. Anybody know where this 345 number and the others for 2005 came from? --Dual Freq (talk) 23:05, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
