Porcfest2015

Each year approximately 800 police officers are arrested for various crimes across the United States.  Phil Stinson, a professor at Bowling Green State University, is the principal investigator of a research project funded by the National Institute of Justice studying the criminal arrests of nonfederal sworn law enforcement officers.  In his presentation at Porcfest, Dr. Stinson will report the findings of his study of police crime arrests during the years 2005-2011. During those seven years, there were 6,724 arrest cases involving 5,545 officers who were employed by 2,529 state and local law enforcement agencies located in 1,205 counties and independent cities in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
