In the 2015 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government® rankings, the Partnership for Public Service and Deloitte compared 75 federal organizations by six mission areas to examine commonalities or discrepancies in employee satisfaction and commitment between agencies with similar responsibilities. In the law enforcement group, we compared agencies that enforce federal criminal laws and prosecute offenders, investigate terrorist threats, operate prisons, guard our borders and manage the immigration system. 

How do employees in the law enforcement community view their jobs and work environments? What are the unique workplace issues facing this community? How can law enforcement leaders address these issues? This analysis identifies three top workplace challenges facing law enforcement and provides effective strategies that agencies are using to improve in these areas.
