Overview of This Information

[OMB Number 1121–0240]

1. Type of information collection: Reinstatement of previously approved data
collection, Survey of General Purpose
Law Enforcement Agencies (SGPLEA),
2012.
2. The title of the form/collection:
Survey of General Purpose Law
Enforcement Agencies (SGPLEA), 2012.
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The form labels are SGPLEA, Bureau of
Justice Statistics, Office of Justice
Programs, U.S. Department of Justice.
4. Affected Public Who Will be Asked
or Required to Respond, as well as a
Brief Abstract: Respondents will be
general purpose state and local law
enforcement agencies, including police
departments, sheriffs, and constables at
the state, county and municipal level,
including tribal law enforcement
agencies. Abstract: The Bureau of
Justice Statistics (BJS) proposes to
implement a Survey of General Purpose
Law Enforcement Agencies (SGPLEA).
This content of the survey builds upon
the previous eight waves of the BJSsponsored surveys in the Law
Enforcement Management and
Administrative Statistics (LEMAS)
Program. Like LEMAS, the SGPLEA will
continue to generate nationallyrepresentative estimates of the nature of
law enforcement agencies and personnel
by focusing on a smaller set of core
issues in contemporary policing.
However, beginning with SGPLEA, BJS
will produce law enforcement statistics
on a regular two-year cycle. SGPLEA
will include a consistent set of core
items and topical supplements that will
vary from wave to wave. In addition to
core issues concerning the number and
type of agencies, the nature and
diversity of law enforcement personnel,
employee wages and benefits, agency
budgets and organizational responses to
contemporary law enforcement issues,
the 2012 SGPLEA supplemental
components will collect information on
the following topics:
a. Recruitment and Retention of Staff;
b. Community Policing;
c. Information Systems;
d. Officer Safety;
e. Uses of Force.
5. An Estimate of the Total Number of
Respondents and the Amount of Time
Estimated for an Average Respondent to
Respond: Based on the testing
experience with the 2007 LEMAS
survey, the reduction in the total
number of variables included in
SGPLEA form compared to the 2007
LEMAS forms, and the increased burden
on smaller law enforcement agencies,
