What percentage of Law enforcement officers and agents do you think are corrupt ?

I think they justify using brute force and tasers on little old women and pregnant women and old men, and pepper spray on kids way too much. Or on anyone for that matter - like the person in the airport who didn't speak English that they killed by tasing him. That might not be corrupt - but it certainly isn't right. I also think there are way more than 2-3% of them corrupt - maybe more like 20-30%. Not to put down the 70-80% of them that are good. (and I wish people on here would stop saying "what's your point" it sounds tooooooo rude).

In Texas: 60% Corrupt, 40% honest by the book

IMO!

Depends on where you are talking about;

Major state agencies such as California Bureau of Investigation, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division, or Texas Rangers, then less than 1%.

Professional Police Departments such as San Diego PD, Austin PD, or Orlando PD, then 1% to 2%.

Then there’s New Orleans PD, 33% to 69% something like that!

Depends on what you mean by corrupt, getting a pot head to toss a joint away rather than arresting him could be considered corrupt. You're probably looking for the more dangerous problematic corrupt kind of cops that steal drugs, plant evidence, ect.

I'd have to say a little over 1% maybe 2% of all the police in all the United States are truly corrupt. To some its shocking however divide that percentage by how many states there are and then divide that new percentage by how many cities there are in the state. It's really not that many. Plus it shifts by cycling new corrupts cops in and corrupt cops out on a regular basis.

I was going to say about 3% before I saw the other answers, so now I'm convinced, about 3%....

But I have to agree with nytrainoff... There's corruption in every walk of life.Would we like to think and hope that people entrusted with public service would be more "careful' of there indiscretions, of coarse,but that is wishful thinking...and I would be so frank as to say goes against human nature...

You have some good answers from that mad guy that wont let anyone add him and sensei and I think one more, Lets face it Hiroko, you are serious, so I'll just say I hope a little less than the rest of us.

I dont know it because it is so wide in the question

I would say 5.5%.
By the way, did you know that 72.6% of all statistics are made up right there on the spot.

The same amount as the community from which the officers come from. We are all human and come from the same communities, why would you think that someone who becomes a law enforcement officer is any more or less honest than his counterparts?

from papers and all stories you read about it and knowing there's some that never get caught, I'd say in the 12-17% range
