Dear <<TITLE>><<LNAME>>:

Thank you for {speaking with/contacting} us regarding the Officer Safety in Correctional Facilities Study. Per your request a copy of the survey is enclosed. This study will provide the first nationally representative information on the use of body armor within correctional facilities. Data will be used to explore who uses body armor and the situations in which body armor is currently used; contributing to correctional officer safety.

The questionnaire may be returned in the enclosed postage-paid envelope or by faxing each page toll-free to 1 –XXX-XXX-XXXX. Please fax the list of officer information to NORC at 1-8XX-XXX-XXXX. If you have any questions about transmitting this information to NORC or do not have access to a fax machine, please contact NORC at 1-8XX-XXX-XXXX. Although participation in this study is voluntary, we urgently need and appreciate your cooperation.
