Sponsor: Criminal Justice Information Services Division, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice. (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract: Federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies. Abstract: The FBI has a long-standing tradition of collecting data and providing statistics concerning Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) and justifiable homicides. To provide a better understanding of the incidents of use of force by law enforcement, the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program developed a new data collection for law enforcement agencies to provide information on incidents where use of force by a law enforcement officer has led to the death or serious bodily injury of a person, as well as when a law enforcement officer discharges a firearm at or in the direction of a person. When a use-of-force incident occurs, federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies provide information to the data collection on characteristics of the incident, subjects of the use of force, and the officers who applied force in the incident. Agencies positively affirm, on a monthly basis, whether their agency did or did not have a use-of-force incident that resulted in a fatality, a serious bodily injury to a person, or a firearm discharge at or in the direction of a person. When no use-of-force incident occurs in a month, agencies submit a zero report. Enrollment information from agencies and state points of contact is collected when the agency or contact initiates participation in the data collection. Enrollment information is updated no less than annually to assist with managing this data. The new data collection defines a law enforcement officer using the current LEOKA definition: ‘‘All federal, state, county, and local law enforcement officers (such as municipal, county police officers, constables, state police, highway patrol, sheriffs, their deputies, federal law enforcement officers, marshals, special agents, etc.) who are sworn by their respective government authorities to uphold the law and to safeguard the rights, lives, and property of American citizens. They must have full arrest powers and be members of a public governmental law enforcement agency, paid from government funds set aside specifically for payment to sworn police law enforcement organized for the purposes of keeping order and for preventing and detecting crimes, and apprehending those responsible.’’ The definition of ‘‘serious bodily injury’’ is based, in part, on Title 18 United States Code, Section 2246(4), to mean ‘‘bodily injury that involves a substantial risk of death, unconsciousness, protracted and obvious disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member, organ, or mental faculty.’’ These actions include the use of a firearm; an electronic control weapon (e.g., Taser); an explosive device; pepper or OC (oleoresin capsicum) spray or other chemical agent; a baton; an impact projectile; a blunt instrument; hands-fists-feet; or canine. (5) A total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: As of June 2020, a total of 6,837 agencies covering 439,936 law enforcement officers were enrolled in the National Use-of-Force Data Collection. The burden hours per incident are estimated to be 0.63 of an hour for completion, around 38 minutes per incident. (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: Burden estimates are based on sources from the FBI’s UCR Program, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The BJS recently estimated that approximately 1,400 fatalities attributed to a law enforcement use of force occur annually (Planty, et al., 2015, ArrestRelated Deaths Program: Data Quality Profile, https://www.bjs.gov/ index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=5260 ). In addition, the CDC estimates the incidences of fatal and nonfatal injury— including those due to legal intervention—from emergency department data. In their study, The real risks during deadly police shootouts: Accuracy of the naı¨ve shooter, Lewinski, et al., (2015) estimate law enforcement officers miss their target approximately 50 percent of the time at the firing range. This information was used to develop a simple estimate for the number of times officers discharge a firearm at or in the direction of a person but do not strike the individual. In addition, the UCR Program collects counts of the number of sworn and civilian law enforcement employees in the nation’s law enforcement agencies.

Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently 
approved collection.
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: National Use-of-Force Data 
Collection
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is 1110-0071. 
Sponsor: Criminal Justice Information Services Division, Federal Bureau 
of Investigation, Department of Justice.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Federal, state, local, and tribal law 
enforcement agencies.
    Abstract: The FBI has a long-standing tradition of collecting data 
and providing statistics concerning Law Enforcement Officers Killed and 
Assaulted (LEOKA) and justifiable homicides. To provide a better 
understanding of the incidents of use of force by law enforcement, the 
Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program developed a new data collection 
for law enforcement agencies to provide information on incidents where 
use of force by a law enforcement officer has led to the death or 
serious bodily injury of a person, as well as when a law enforcement 
officer discharges a firearm at or in the direction of a person.
    When a use-of-force incident occurs, federal, state, local, and 
tribal law enforcement agencies provide information to the data 
collection on characteristics of the incident, subjects of the use of 
force, and the officers who applied force in the incident. Agencies 
positively affirm, on a monthly basis, whether their agency did or did 
not have a use-of-force incident that resulted in a fatality, a serious 
bodily injury to a person, or a firearm discharge at or in the 
direction of a person. When no use-of-force incident occurs in a month, 
agencies submit a zero report. Enrollment information from agencies and 
state points of contact is collected when the agency or contact 
initiates participation in the data collection. Enrollment information 
is updated no less than annually to assist with managing this data.
    The new data collection defines a law enforcement officer using the 
current LEOKA definition: ``All federal, state, county, and local law 
enforcement officers (such as municipal, county police officers, 
constables, state police, highway patrol, sheriffs, their deputies, 
federal law enforcement officers, marshals, special agents, etc.) who 
are sworn by their respective government authorities to uphold the law 
and to safeguard the rights, lives, and property of American citizens. 
They must have full arrest powers and be members of a public 
governmental law enforcement agency, paid from government funds set 
aside specifically for payment to sworn police law enforcement 
organized for the purposes of keeping order and for preventing and 
detecting crimes, and apprehending those responsible.''
    The definition of ``serious bodily injury'' is based, in part, on 
Title 18 United States Code, Section 2246(4), to mean ``bodily injury 
that involves a substantial risk of death, unconsciousness, protracted 
and obvious disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the 
function of a bodily member, organ, or mental faculty.'' These actions 
include the use of a firearm; an electronic control weapon (e.g., 
Taser); an explosive device; pepper or OC (oleoresin capsicum) spray or 
other chemical agent; a baton; an impact projectile; a blunt 
instrument; hands-fists-feet; or canine.
    (5) A total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated 
for an average respondent to respond: As of June 2020, a total of 6,837 
agencies covering 439,936 law enforcement officers were enrolled in the 
National Use-of-Force Data Collection. The burden hours per incident 
are estimated to be 0.63 of an hour for completion, around 38 minutes 
per incident.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: Burden estimates are based on sources from the 
FBI's UCR Program, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), and the 
Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The BJS recently estimated that 
approximately 1,400 fatalities attributed to a law enforcement use of 
force occur annually (Planty, et al., 2015, Arrest-Related Deaths 
Program: Data Quality Profile, https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=5260 ). In addition, the CDC estimates the 
incidences of fatal and nonfatal injury--including those due to legal 
intervention--from emergency department data. In their study, The real 
risks during deadly police shootouts: Accuracy of the na[iuml]ve 
shooter, Lewinski, et al., (2015) estimate law enforcement officers 
miss their target approximately 50 percent of the time at the firing 
range. This information was used to develop a simple estimate for the 
number of times officers discharge a firearm at or in the direction of 
a person but do not strike the individual. In addition, the UCR Program 
collects counts of the number of sworn and civilian law enforcement 
employees in the nation's law enforcement agencies.
    The following table shows burden estimates based on previous 
estimation criteria and current National Use-of-Force Data Collection 
enrollment numbers.
