SUMMARY:
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Reinstatement, with change, of a
previously approved collection.
(2) The Title of the Form/Collection:
2018 Census of State and Local Law
Enforcement Agencies (CSLLEA).
(3) The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:52 Nov 15, 2017
Jkt 244001
Department sponsoring the collection:
The form number is CJ–38. The
applicable component within the
Department of Justice is the Bureau of
Justice Statistics, Office of Justice
Programs.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Respondents will include all
publicly-funded state, county and local
law enforcement agencies in the United
States that employ the equivalent of at
least one full-time sworn officer with
general arrest powers. Both general
purpose agencies (i.e., any public
agency with sworn officers whose patrol
and enforcement responsibilities are
primarily delimited by the boundaries
of a municipal, county, or state
government) and special purpose
agencies (e.g., campus law enforcement,
transportation, natural resources, etc.)
meeting the above description will be
asked to respond.
Abstract: BJS has conducted the
CSLLEA regularly since 1992. The 2018
CSLLEA will be the seventh
administration. Historically, the
CSLLEA generates an enumeration of all
publically funded state, county and
local law enforcement agencies
operating in the United States. The
CSLLEA provides complete personnel
counts and an overview of the functions
performed for approximately 20,000 law
enforcement agencies operating
nationally.
The 2018 CSLLEA collection involves
two phases. In the first phase, BJS will
cognitively test the revised instrument
with 48 agencies based on agency type
(i.e., local and county police, sheriff’s
office, or special purpose) and size (i.e.,
100 or more full-time equivalent sworn
officers or less than 100 full-time
equivalent sworn officers). A maximum
of 8 agencies of each type and size will
be asked to participate in testing. BJS
has reduced the number of items from
the 2014 administration but has
included additional items on limited
sworn officers. Additionally, BJS will
continue to refine the universe frame by
verifying agency in-service status,
contact information and de-duplicating
agencies.
Pending positive results from the first
phase, in the second phase, BJS will
conduct the main data collection. The
2018 CSLLEA is designed to collect
general information on state, county and
local law enforcement agencies. The
survey asks about the level of
government that operates the agency;
total operating budget; full-time and
part-time personnel counts for fully
sworn officers, limited sworn officers
and non-sworn employees; gender and
primary job responsibility of full-time

sworn officers; and the functions the
agency performs on a regular or primary
basis. Upon completion, the 2018
CSLLEA will serve as the sampling
frame for future law enforcement
surveys administered by BJS.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: For the cognitive testing, BJS is
planning 48 agencies with an estimated
total respondent burden of 90 minutes.
For the full data collection, BJS
estimates a maximum of 20,000 state,
county and local law enforcement
agencies with a respondent burden of
about 45 minutes per agency, including
the follow-up time.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated total
respondent burden for the cognitive
testing is 72 hours. The maximum
respondent burden for the full data
collection is approximately 15,000
burden hours. Therefore, total burden
for both phases is approximately 15,072
burden hours.
