OK, given that answer, I'm going to guess police officers have the highest 
percentage.

Not in the criminal justice or forensic psychology areas.

In clinical practice, you're right--but from a criminological perspective,
there is an enormous difference between, for example, a sadistic serial
rapist and a firefighter (one of professions with a higher--though not the
highest--percentage of psychopaths among it's members). While both may
have several of the same characteristics diagnostically, the fact that one
focuses his behavior on positive actions while the other focuses on
negative ones is a pretty major difference.
