LEMAS collects data on which of the following?

• A. Federal agents only.
• B. Municipal governance.
• C. State and local law enforcement agencies.
• D. Private security firms.

Answer: (C)

LEMAS is a data collection program aimed at gathering information from state and local law enforcement agencies to track staffing, budgets, workloads, and practices across the United States. That focus means it collects data from agencies at the state and local level, including municipal and county police and sheriff’s offices, rather than from federal agents or other entities. It isn’t about city governance as a whole, nor does it include private security firms, which fall outside this police and law enforcement scope. So the best answer is the one that states it collects data on state and local law enforcement agencies. For context, this data helps compare resources and trends across different jurisdictions over time.
