Probably not quite that high.  Amongst white police officers, that sounds about right, but I suspect most African-American police officers voted for Biden, although Trump probably did better amongst them than general African-American population, probably 80-20 Biden instead of 90-10 Biden.  Likewise amongst Hispanics I suspect Biden won them but Trump probably got over 40% of Hispanic police officers.  So I am thinking mid 60s for Trump and low 30s Biden, but close to 75% amongst white police officers and down in 20s for Biden.  Also probably somewhat a gender gap; wouldn't be surprised if Trump got over 80% of white male police officers.  

One interesting one would be how did Border Patrol officers vote.  Yes you would think they would have voted for Trump, but 50% of Border Patrol officers are Hispanic so Trump probably won them, but possible Clinton in 2016 and Obama in 2012 did.  Amongst non-Hispanic white Border Patrol officers, obviously Trump would have won big.  For CBP officers, I suspect narrowly Trump on southern border as many are Hispanic, but heavily Trump on Northern border and Alaska.  Airport also Trump, but not as heavily as more likely to be African-American or Hispanic than Northern land border or either in former.  Pre-Clearance CBP officers would be interesting as they would live in other countries many where Trump was hated.  Greatest number are in Canada so be interesting if living in a country where Trump is so loathed and is more progressive had an impact or not.

Related to this does anyone have any idea how ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms) agents vote? It is the one law enforcement agency that has consistently gotten more hatred from the right than the left for decades due to them being seen as gun grabbers and especially their role in the siege at Waco. At the same time, its agents certainly have similar social backgrounds to other federal law enforcement agents.

Didn’t the borders patrol union endorse Trump? Since union membership tend to be more conservative than its leadership, a endorsement almost certainly mean the rank and file support tromp
