There are significantly more teachers than policemen. [1]
While the exact numbers depend on the country, teachers drastically outnumber law enforcement officers across nearly all global workforces because the population of students requiring daily instruction is much larger than the population requiring active policing.
As a representative example, consider the data from the United States:
*
* Teachers: According to [USAFacts](https://usafacts.org/reports/state-of-the-union/education/), there are approximately 3.3 million public school teachers, and over 4 million total teachers when including private schools.
* Policemen: According to data tracked by [Statista](https://www.statista.com/statistics/191694/number-of-law-enforcement-officers-in-the-us/), there are roughly 737,000 full-time law enforcement officers in the country. [2, 3, 4]
*
This means that in the U.S. alone, there are roughly four to five times as many teachers as there are police officers.
