Was just wondering what some of the staffing levels were in some Massachusetts departments from the Chief down.


Found it interesting that the Northeast avg is 2.7 officers for every 1000 people., according to the FBI.

Attleboro as of 2000

Square miles (land) 27.51

[725]

MALDEN PD

If my math is correct, that is approximately 1.7 officers for every 1,000 people.
