The survey is sent to a wide variety of law enforcement
agencies from throughout the country. The following information comes from the Bureau of
Justice's website (see the link below):
2002–Present NYGS
Sample (Current Sample):
- All police departments
serving cities with populations of 50,000 or more (n=624).
- All suburban county police and sheriffs’ departments
(n=739). - A randomly selected sample of police
departments serving cities with populations between 2,500 and 49,999 (n=543).
- A randomly selected sample of rural county police and
sheriffs’ departments (n=492).
Hereafter,
larger cities refers to cities with populations of 50,000 or more,
and smaller cities refers to cities with populations between 2,500 and 49,999. Finally,
study population refers to the entire group of jurisdictions that
the current sample represents; that is, all jurisdictions served by county law
enforcement agencies and all jurisdictions with populations of 2,500 or more served by
city (e.g., municipal) police departments.
I hope this
helps you.
