Florida

Florida law enforcement agencies: 834 are on record with the FBI. 299 of them (36%) report crime data; 535 have never filed a return.

Federal funding

$513.6m awarded to recipients in Florida under the main federal policing programmes since October 2019. Recipients are usually cities rather than police departments, so this is reported for the state as a whole — why there is no per-agency figure.

FBI reporting participation

This is a state-level figure published by the FBI, not a per-agency one — it counts how many agencies across Florida submitted crime data to the FBI in a given year. There is no per-agency participation file in the FBI’s bulk data, so this cannot be attributed to any single agency.

Workforce over time

Sworn officers reported to the FBI each year by agencies in Florida, with the number of agencies that filed a return that year shown alongside. That reporting base changes year to year, so a rising officer count here can simply mean more agencies reported, not that more officers were hired. The rate is per 1,000 people in the population those reporting agencies themselves cover, not a Census population for the whole state.

Officer pay

Pay for three police occupations in Florida, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. These are survey estimates, so every figure below carries BLS’s own label for them in the Source column. They are statewide figures for the occupation, not figures for any agency — this site does not publish pay for individual agencies — and nothing here has been calculated or compared by Police Census.
