Public safety :
Law enforcement personnel, 2007

In 2007, there were 12,514 sworn and civilian employees comprising Minnesota's law enforcement personnel. Statewide, the ratio of all personnel (including State Patrol employees) were 2.4 per 1,000 residents. While several rural counties stand out in the highest category next to their neighbors, the ratio of law enforcement personnel does not vary all that much from county to county. While rural and urban counties tended to have about the same number of sworn personnel, rural counties tend to have more civilian employees per 1,000 residents.
