Target Population
The target population for this research question refers to all law enforcement officers who are currently working in the United States. This includes officers who are employed at the federal, state, or local level, and who are responsible for enforcing laws and maintaining public safety in their respective jurisdictions. This population is diverse but should consist of individuals who work in a role in which they are in contact with the public, as the focus of the question is on the impact of education on use of force.

Participant Age
The mean age of law enforcement officers in the United States is around 40 years old.

Younger officers may be more likely to have a college degree, while older officers may not have had the same education requirements when they first…
