The proposed Survey of Campus Law
Enforcement Agencies will be the only systematic, national-level
data collection providing information about campus law enforcement
personnel, budgets, equipment, and policies and procedures. The
survey will be the most comprehensive source of national statistics
about law enforcement agency operations at universities and college
in the U.S.
Expansion of the scope of the
survey to include 4-year schools with 1,000 to 2,499 students and
2-year schools with 2,500 to 9,999 students. Representatives of
these schools have expressed an interest in being included in the
survey so that they may use their peer institutions for benchmark
comparisons. This expansion also allows for better coverage of the
campus population served by law enforcement agencies
nationwide.
