VHA saw the highest uptick in law enforcement staffing from 2020 - 2024, GAO finds

Law enforcement staffing at federal agencies varied between fiscal years 2020 and 2024. But a new Government Accountability Office report shows the Veterans Health Administration saw a major uptick in law enforcement staffing during that period, going from 4,699 officers in 2020 to 6,281 by the end of 2024. VHA was an outlier as most other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies either had flat workforce totals or saw varying levels of attrition. GAO’s report doesn’t cover the last year when the Department of Homeland Security recruited a record number of immigration enforcement and Border Patrol agents.
