In 2014, 900,000 sworn law enforcement officers who were serving in the United States and 12% of those officers were female. To find the number of females that were law enforcement officers, we multiply the percentage of females by the total number of law enforcement officers. This will be:
= 12% of 900000
= 12/100 × 900000
= 0.12 × 900000
= 108,000
There were 108,000 females as law enforcement officers serving in the United States.
