Most people in North Carolina believe law enforcement agencies should receive more or the same amount of funding than they currently receive, according to a WRAL News Poll released earlier this week.

A total of 46% of the 2,500 people interviewed in SurveyUSA’s scientific poll felt law enforcement agencies should receive more funding than they currently receive whereas 27% felt the agencies should receive the same amount as now.

A total of 11% felt law enforcement agencies should receive less funding than they do now and 16% weren’t sure.

SurveyUSA randomly selected 2,500 North Carolina adults from April 6-10. The polling firm conducted the interviews in several regions of North Carolina, including Charlotte and west, the Greensboro area, the Raleigh area, southern and coastal communities. Lucid Holdings LLC of New Orleans selected a random sample of participants.

Results have credibility intervals of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.
