Abstract: The LEMAS core survey, conducted every 3 to 4 years since 1987, is based on a nationally representative sample of approximately 3,500 generalpurpose LEAs and provides national estimates of law enforcement salaries, expenditures, operations, equipment, information systems and policies and procedures. In addition to these regular surveys, BJS also fields LEMAS supplement surveys to capture detailed information on specific topics pertaining to specific issues in law enforcement. BJS implemented this model of regular LEMAS core surveys and thematic supplement surveys following recommendations from the National Research Council. The first LEMAS supplement survey was fielded in 2017 (OMB Control Number 1121– 0354, expired 2/28/2019), with a focus on body-worn camera use among law enforcement agencies. The 2023 LEMAS supplement focuses on two topics, postacademy law enforcement training and agency responses to suicide. Postacademy training is defined as law enforcement training provided to fulltime sworn personnel with general arrest powers at any point in their law enforcement career following any recruit or field training. Applicable E:\FR\FM\16MYN1.SGM 16MYN1 31278 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 94 / Tuesday, May 16, 2023 / Notices topics include the number and types of training instructors used; training budgets; the resources that are accessible to officers through the agency’s training program; the number of instruction hours provided for each training topic; and the types of special training programs offered to active fulltime sworn personnel. The 2023 LEMAS supplement will also address law enforcement agency responses to suicide. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) launched the Law Enforcement Suicide Data Collection (LESDC) in January 2022 (OMB Control Number 1110–0082). The 2023 LEMAS supplement survey is intended to be a supporting effort to LESDC by collecting agency-level information on formal wellness programs currently available to full-time sworn personnel and related policies and training.

    Abstract: The LEMAS core survey, conducted every 3 to 4 years since 
1987, is based on a nationally representative sample of approximately 
3,500 general-purpose LEAs and provides national estimates of law 
enforcement salaries, expenditures, operations, equipment, information 
systems and policies and procedures. In addition to these regular 
surveys, BJS also fields LEMAS supplement surveys to capture detailed 
information on specific topics pertaining to specific issues in law 
enforcement. BJS implemented this model of regular LEMAS core surveys 
and thematic supplement surveys following recommendations from the 
National Research Council. The first LEMAS supplement survey was 
fielded in 2017 (OMB Control Number 1121-0354, expired 2/28/2019), with 
a focus on body-worn camera use among law enforcement agencies. The 
2023 LEMAS supplement focuses on two topics, post-academy law

topics include the number and types of training instructors used; 
training budgets; the resources that are accessible to officers through 
the agency's training program; the number of instruction hours provided 
for each training topic; and the types of special training programs

will also address law enforcement agency responses to suicide. The 
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) launched the Law Enforcement 
Suicide Data Collection (LESDC) in January 2022 (OMB Control Number 
1110-0082). The 2023 LEMAS supplement survey is intended to be a
