so, 1000 cops over the course of 6 years
so, maybe an avg of 165 cops per year?
How many cops are there in the US:
In 2008, state and local law enforcement agencies employed more than 1.1 million persons on a full-time basis, including about 765,000 sworn personnel (defined as those with general arrest powers). Agencies also employed approximately 100,000 part-time employees, including 44,000 sworn officers.
1,000,000 cops, and the study showed that 165/yr committed sex crimes.
so, .0165% of cops on avg committed sex crimes every year.
sounds like a "systemic pattern of sex abuse" here.....I'll alert the media.
