About

Police & Detectives: Employment of police and detectives is projected to grow 5 percent from 2019 to 2029, faster than the average for all occupations. The need for public safety is expected to lead to new openings for officers, although demand may vary by geographic location.Correctional Officers: State and local budget constraints and prison population levels will determine how many correctional officers are necessary. Changes to criminal laws can have a large effect on how many people are arrested and incarcerated each year. Community-based programs designed to rehabilitate prisoners and limit their risk of repeated offenses may also reduce prisoner counts. Job prospects should still be good due to the need to replace correctional officers who transfer to other occupations or leave the labor force, such as to retire.Police & Detectives: Employment of police and detectives is projected to grow 5 percent from 2019 to 2029, faster than the average for all occupations.
