Searching by Occupation: U.S. Census of 1890, 1900 and 1910

Hi,

I'm trying to identify black law enforcement (police, sheriffs, etc.) in the censuses of 1890, 1900 and 1910. You can't search by occupation for these years, and I'm finding that key word searches (e.g. "constable," "police," "sheriff") are bringing up irrelevant results. I was wondering if anyone had an insights or research tips? Are there other terms I should be searching? Am I missing a way of narrowing the results? Any help would be amazing!
