Agencies. Other: None. This national
survey is designed to do three things.
One is to determine the extent to which
police departments, specifically crime
analysts, are utilizing computerized
crime mapping since the first survey.
Two is to understand to what extent
crime mapping has been adopted since
the first survey. Three is to expand the
survey to understand the new ways that
computerized crime mapping is being
utilized, including the technologies
adopted. Surveys will be mailed to a
randomly selected sample of police
departments. The questionnaire will
determine the level of crime mapping
within those departments, both in terms
of hardware and software resources as
well as the data used and types of maps
that are produced and how they are
used. The information collected from
this survey will be used to advise the
Mapping and Analysis for Public Safety
(formerly the Crime Mapping Research
Center) on what resources we need to
provide to law enforcement who use,
and want to use, crime mapping.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: It is estimated that 112,123
respondents will complete each form
within approximately 6 minutes.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: We estimate this survey will
take 45 minutes per respondent, with
the demographic section taking 10
minutes and the questions regarding
crime mapping taking 35 minutes.
Based on the expected sample of 2,630
respondents, the total estimated burden
is 1,972 hours.
