Kent's last post showed that the police are vastly more trusted than, among others, lawyers.
Gallup also did a survey about confidence in the police in other wealthy countries around the world. The results demonstrate that the United States is slightly above the middle. It's just below Norway, Denmark and Sweden, and just ahead of Portugal, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
Specifically, 78% answered "yes" when asked, "In the city or area where you live, do you have confidence in the local police force, or not?"
The survey is here.
