Michigan has the hardest working men and women in blue, according to one website. Security site SafeWise.com took a look at FBI statistics, and found Michigan has about 23,200 law enforcement employees, leaving one cop for about every 350 civilians. SafeWise’s Sarah Brown tells WSJM News if you combine that with another stat, MI cops are a busy lot.
“They’re facing a lot more crime per cop per year,” Brown said. “They also have a really high people per cop. It’s above the average.”
Of course, that doesn’t mean Michigan is an unsafe state. SafeWise notes the cops in Detroit, for example, are especially busy. Coming in second were the police in Nevada. You can find the SafeWise article right here.
