Law Enforcement Challenge
2009 & 2010 Law Enforcement Challenge Categories
In an effort to more evenly distribute agencies across categories at the national level, new divisions have been established for the National Challenge for the Municipal Agencies and Sheriff's Offices Categories. Not only will this help the judges by better balancing the number of entries in each category that they have to compare, but it should also even out the competition for the agencies. (For more information, see Category size comparisons across the years (PDF).)
(Categories for State Police/Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies are unchanged.)
The categories for the 2009 & 2010 Challenge are as follows:
