Under the Violent Crime and Control
Act of 1994, the U.S. Department of Justice COPS Office would
require the completion of the Community Policing Self-Assessment
Tool from law enforcement agencies in order to improve the practice
of community policing throughout the United States.
In order to accurately reflect
the number of respondents, we decreased some 3,000 respondents that
were originally assigned to take the English version of the CP-SAT
short form, and transferred them to the Spanish version of the
CP-SAT short form. Therefore, the overall number of respondents has
not changed for the entire collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
