The survey asks about the operating entity; resources available to recruits; total operating budget; full-time and part-time instructors or trainers and their education, sworn officer experience, certifications, and ongoing training; sex, race and Hispanic origin, prior educational attainment, and veteran status of recruits starting and completing training; and the length and content of basic training curricula offered at the academy. (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: BJS estimates approximately 750 law enforcement academies with a respondent burden of about 2 hours per academy to complete the survey form and about 10 minutes per agency of data quality follow-up time for approximately 450 of those academies. (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: There are an estimated 1,575 total burden hours associated with this information collection.
