Abstract
This article describes how the structure of US policing varies greatly among the 50 states. The states differ substantially in their levels of police employment, the degree to which their police systems are fragmented, and the extent to which they rely on different types of police agencies, such as local police, sheriffs, and state police. The article classifies the states along these dimensions and suggests avenues for further research. In particular, it would be useful to know whether these different structures make any difference in police efficiency or effectiveness.
