Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
New Collection; Perceptions of Safety
and Police-Community Relations.
a. The Title of the Form/Collection:
Survey of Resident Perceptions of Safety
and Policing & Survey of Officer
Perceptions of Policing and Department/
Organization.
2. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
None. U.S. Department of Justice,
Community Oriented Policing Services
(COPS) Office.
3. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract:
The affected public who will be asked
to respond to the surveys include:
• Community residents of the CRI–
TA site over the age of 18;
• Sworn and non-sworn police
officers; and
The information collected through the
two respective surveys is to establish a
baseline to measure the impact of
technical assistance given to
Collaborative Reform Initiative (CRI)
sites to advance community police and
improve community confidence in the
police. The four technical assistance
providers (The Police Foundation, the
Center for Naval Analyses (CNA),
Institute of Intergovernmental Research
(IIR), and Hillard Heintze) or one or
more survey administration
organizations will utilize each of the
two surveys at one point in time for two
different populations. The surveys will
be administered prior to the application
of technical assistance (or shortly
thereafter) to establish a baseline of
public and police perception of safety,
community policing, and policecommunity relations. The data collected
will cover one point in time in 2015 to
establish this baseline. The survey
results will not be used to draw
conclusions that can be applied to the
entire nation, but rather only for sites
COPS chooses to provide technical
assistance, so a nationally representative
sample is not recommended. However,
the surveys can be used in any
municipality or region in the United
States. To enhance site sustainability,
the surveys will serve as tools for CRI
sites (and future COPS community
policing sites) to monitor their own
change efforts and progress over time.
Sites will be encouraged to administer
the same survey tools at varying time
intervals in order to compare pre- and
post-technical assistance perceptions.
The sites can infer the impact of
technical assistance as well as their own

capacity to sustain change. The
community resident survey should overrepresent those who have or likely have
had contact with the police in that
locality, determined by arrest rates by
zip code or neighborhood delineation,
race, and ethnicity. The police survey
will be disseminated to all sworn and
non-sworn officers. The detainee survey
shall be comprised of a convenience
sample of those who have had recent
contact with the police in that locality.
4. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: An estimated one to five
percent of members of each community
will take part in the Survey of Resident
Perceptions of Safety and Policing. The
COPS Office estimates 50 sites over the
approval period of this collection. Based
on previous use of the survey at the
Program in Criminal Justice Policy and
Management at the John F. Kennedy
School of Government at Harvard
University (PCJ), the estimated range of
completion for respondents is expected
to be between 10 minutes to 15 minutes
for completion. An estimated 15% of
police officers of each agency will take
part in the Survey of Officer Perceptions
of Policing and Department/
Organization. The COPS Office
estimates 50 sites over the approval
period of this collection. Based on
previous use of the survey by the PCJ,
the estimated range of completion for
respondents is expected to be between
15 minutes and 20 minutes. Of the
detainees offered the opportunity to
participate, an estimated 20–25% of
detainees will agree to participate in the
Survey of Detainee Perceptions of
Policing. Based on previous use of the
survey the PCJ, the estimated range of
completion for detainee respondents is
expected to be between five minutes
and 10 minutes.
5. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: Surveys will be disseminated
to respective CRI sites pre-technical
assistance to gather baseline data. For
the approval timeframe of this
collection, the COPS Office estimates
that it will administer the survey to 50
community and agency sites:
The COPS Office estimates that it will
administer 400 community member and
100 officer surveys per site:
• 400 surveys × 50 sites (20,000
surveys) × 20 minutes = 6,667 hours.
• 100 surveys × 50 sites (5,000
surveys) × 20 minutes = 1,667 hours.
The total estimated burden associated
with this collection is 8,334 hours.
