How big the department isEnid Police Department reported 96 sworn officers and 43 civilian staff to the FBI for 2025. That is 1.9 officers per 1,000 residents, over a population of 50,360.A rate is only meaningful for a city department, where the population served is the city’s own. Reporting to the FBI is voluntary, so a count can reflect a partial return as easily as a small agency, and the FBI asks that agencies not be compared on staffing.
