The "Police Employee Data" from the Downloads and Docs page gives officer counts and officer / 1000 people rates for each state over a number of years. These numbers generally increase over time (as police forces have grown since the 1970s), but I came across one year of data that looks wrong. In Oregon, the dataset contains:
2010: 7031 officers (1.81 per 1000 people)
2011: 23,006 officers (5.85 per 1000 people)
2012: 6492 officers (1.75 per 1000 people)
Those data for Oregon in 2011 seem to be wrong - it would seem odd that Oregon added ~16,000 officers one year and then let go a similar number the following year.

Potentially bad data in Police Employee Data - Oregon, 2012
Potentially bad data in Police Employee Data - Oregon, 2011
Sep 28, 2017
We have tracked down the issue -- the data from UCR was incorrect for the following rows that were ingested with the ddocname - 2011_OR0240800, 2011_OR0240500 , 2011_OR0240300
Those rows are incorrect data hence making the total offs. IE OR0240500 has 9000 female officers.
I updated the rows in the database with this issue -- I will start to determine what other updates I need to run then work with @harrisj to generate the new file.
