“Is being a police officer one of the most important jobs in our country today?”

Rasmussen posed police-related questions to a random sampling of 1,000 American adults online and via telephone on April 13-14, 2001.


One question asked:


“Is being a police officer one of the most important jobs in our country today?”


The results showed that 61% of adults responded “Yes,” with 23% disagreeing, and 15% unsure.

The answer to the question was sharply divided along political lines, with 84% of Republicans agreeing that being a police officer is one of the most important jobs. Only 50% of Democrats and 57% of “other,” or those unaffiliated with either party, agreed.


There was also a difference in response between races, with 67% of white respondents in agreement, as opposed to 49% of black respondents. Fifty-seven percent of respondents in the “other” category agreed with the question.


Editorial comment: When “Shit hits the fan”, all folks that answered "No", have a sudden and dramatic change in their oppinion.


Clearly we have some work ahead of us in gaining the trust of major segments of American society. One encounter at a time.
