The Henry A. Wallace Police Crime Database was recently updated with changes to 787 cases. The current database version is v.052018.1238. Most of the updates involve reduction in missing data to one or more variables in a case (often related to criminal case dispositions and/or final adverse employment outcomes). The database currently includes information on 9,088 criminal arrest cases from the years 2005-2013 involving 7,518 individual nonfederal sworn law enforcement officers, each of whom were charged with one or more crimes. The arrested officers were employed by 3,140 state, local, and special law enforcement agencies located in 1,402 counties and independent cities in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The next scheduled update to the database will include the addition of more than 1,000 arrest cases from year 2014 to be added prior to the end of December 2018.
