CTLEA Data Collection Invite Letter U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Statistics Washington, D.C. 20531 Name Title Affiliation Address City, State Zip Code DATE Dear <> < >: On behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), I am writing to ask for your participation in the 2019 Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA). The CTLEA is the first BJS study to focus solely on tribal law enforcement agencies, to better understand the administrative and operational characteristics of agencies like yours. The goal of the project is to develop an accurate, comprehensive picture of the workloads, staffing, resource utilization and needs of tribal law enforcement agencies. We believe this information will provide tribal leaders and other stakeholders with improved data that inform policy making and support safer communities. The CTLEA was developed following passage of the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010, which mandated that BJS establish and implement tribal data collections. BJS and its data collection agent, NORC at the University of Chicago (NORC), worked with law enforcement partners at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and IACP’s Indian Country Law Enforcement Section (ICLES) to establish the survey and data collection protocols. An overview of the CTLEA and the process employed to develop the survey questions is included with this letter. To participate in the project, we ask that you fill out the enclosed questionnaire in its entirety, and return it to NORC at the University of Chicago, using the provided envelope. It should take about 30 minutes to complete the form. The survey can be completed by any knowledgeable person at your agency. For assistance with the questionnaire, please contact NORC toll-free at 1-877-346-5693 or via e-mail at [email protected]. For questions about the CTLEA project and survey activities, please contact Steven Perry, BJS Tribal Justice Data Collections Program Manager, at (202) 307-0777 or via e-mail at [email protected]. BJS is committed to supporting tribal law enforcement agencies by providing critical information about the challenges and obstacles you face in service to your communities. Thank you for your time and consideration of this important project. Sincerely, Jeffrey H. Anderson Director Bureau of Justice Statistics 7 8 International Association of Chiefs of Police 44 Canal Center Plaza, Suite 200 Alexandria, VA 22314–2357 Phone: 703-836–6767; 1-800-THE IACP Fax: 703-836–4543 Web: www.theiacp.org 3.

Cunningham Alexandria, VA General Chair of the Midsize Agencies Division Paul Williams Chief of Police Springfield Police Department Springfield, MO Dear Chief of Police, The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and its Indian Country Law Enforcement Section along with the other tribal justice agencies are working with the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) on the Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA) program. This new program requests the participation of all tribal law enforcement agencies serving federally recognized tribes and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) law enforcement agencies to provide valuable information for tribes and other federal, state, and local justice agencies. IACP supports this important effort for several reasons: 1. Federal funding for justice services is oftentimes tied to crime statistics. Due to jurisdictional complexities, tribal law enforcement agencies may not have accurate and complete crime reporting data for their tribe. With the CTLEA data, federal funders will be able to use a comprehensive picture of tribal law enforcement services, gaps, and challenges to better inform funding decisions. 2. With increased understanding about the capacity and professionalism of tribal law enforcement, the CTLEA will help raise the profile of tribal law enforcement, which can assist tribes in forming stronger partnerships and gaining access to vital criminal justice resources. 3. The CTLEA will help tribal law enforcement agencies stay abreast of the most pressing crime concerns in their own and other parts of Indian Country. IACP is working on this program with NORC at the University of Chicago, who will be managing the survey process. All tribal and BIA law enforcement agencies are encouraged to respond. If you need assistance with the form, please contact NORC toll‐free at 877‐346‐5693 or via e‐mail at [email protected]. We thank you in advance for your help. Upon completion of the study, BJS will produce a report and distribute the findings and data set. Please complete the survey and return it to NORC as soon as possible. Sincerely, Vincent Talucci Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer International Association of Chiefs of Police William Denke Chief of Police, Sycuan Tribal Police Department Chair, IACP Indian Country Law Enforcement Section 9 Serving the Leaders of Today, Developing the Leaders of Tomorrow® 10 4. CTLEA Data Collection Confirmation Script TELEPHONE PROMPTING SCRIPT Following the mailing of the CTLEA introduction letter and survey, NORC staff will follow up with agencies within one week to confirm receipt of the survey and answer any questions that the agency may have. At that time, they will also attempt to confirm the contact information for the person completing the survey and appropriate contact information if that differs from the individual that the package was addressed to, as well as a timeframe in which to expect the returned survey. Completed surveys will be receipted as they are returned. Agencies that do not return the survey within three weeks will be prompted by phone to return the survey and given the opportunity to clarify any questions or issues they may have encountered when attempting to complete the survey. Those agencies that have completed most questions but are encountering difficulty with some of the questions on the survey will be encouraged to note this directly on the survey and return the partially completed survey. Non-responding agencies will receive weekly phone calls, or emails if preferred, encouraging them to complete and return the survey. If agencies communicate that they are no longer interested in participating or do not want to answer the questions, this will be noted as well and a replacement agency selected. Additionally, copies of the survey will be re-sent to any agency that requests a new copy of the survey. Scripts to be used during this prompting effort are below. 11 TELEPHONE SCRIPT FOR CONTACTING TRIBAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES Hello, may I please speak with (RESPONDENT). IWER: IF R NO LONGER WORKS THERE, ASK FOR THE CHIEF OF POLICE OR THE PERSON WHO CURRENTLY HOLDS R’s POSITION. RECORD FIRST AND LAST NAME OF NEW R AND COMMUNICATE THE PURPOSE OF THE CALL. Hello, this is _____ calling on behalf of the U. S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) regarding the Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies(CTLEA) Survey. We recently sent you a packet with a letter and a survey for a project called the CTLEA. Do you recall receiving these materials? If yes, skip to ‘Yes, did receive below’. If No, did not receive/does not recall materials: BJS is conducting the first nation-wide study focused solely on tribal and BIA law enforcement agencies across the country. Does your tribe have a law enforcement agency, department of natural resources, or other security department with the authority to issues arrests for crimes or citations for tribal code violations? If yes, does qualify: The survey asks questions on topics such as staffing, training, equipment, and agency functions. Can I mail a copy of the survey to you? What is the best address to send this survey to? Record information in contact document. Thank you for your time. You can expect to receive that survey by DATE. We are hoping to receive responses by DATE. Have a great day. If no or does not know the answer: Would it be best if we contacted a different staff member at your agency to complete the survey? If yes: Thank you, what is the best phone number and address to reach them at? Record information in contact document. Thank you for your time. Your colleague can expect to hear from me soon. Have a great day. If no, does not qualify: 12 Thank you for your time, I will update our records accordingly. Yes, Did receive materials: Great! Do you have any questions about the survey or the purpose of the study? IF RESPONDENT INDICATES THAT THEY HAVE THE MATERIALS AVAILABLE OR IF THEY HAVE TIME DURING THE CALL, WALK THROUGH THE TLE SCREENER QUESTIONS Your completed survey can be returned to NORC using the pre-addressed, pre-paid envelope, which was included in the package. Any knowledgeable staff person may complete the survey on behalf of your agency. We are hoping to receive responses by DATE. About how soon can we expect to receive the completed copy? Record information in contact document. If you have any questions as you complete the survey, please call us toll-free at NUMBER or email [email protected]. Thank you in advance for your participation! Responses to frequently asked questions: Why are you conducting this survey? This survey is being conducted to better understand the unique functions of tribal law enforcement; the complexity surrounding tribal, state, and federal jurisdictions; and the interrelationships that exist among the different law enforcement agencies in Indian Country. Information collected from this survey will help inform funding and policy decisions to help tribes access the resources they need for public safety. Your participation in the CTLEA/ CBIALEA is critical and will help us gather the most accurate and comprehensive picture of the strengths, capacity, and needs of tribal law enforcement. Who else is it being sent to? The survey is being sent to all XX Tribal Law Enforcement agencies and those agencies with special authority including natural resources, fish and wildlife, casino and gaming enforcement that serve federally recognized tribes and have the authority to issue arrests and/or citations. For the project to be successful and representative of all of Indian Country, it is important that we hear from all tribal and BIA law enforcement agencies 13 How will these results be used? The results from this pilot survey will be used to develop an accurate, comprehensive understanding of the administration, operations, services, and capabilities, as well as the challenges, resource gaps, and emerging crime concerns. With recent legislative changes through the Tribal Law and Order Act, this information will help us measure changes in tribal law enforcement authority and capacity. The information will help inform federal agencies, as they craft legislation, allocate resources, and develop funding programs that will better meet tribes’ public safety needs. How long will this take? We expect that the survey will take about 30 minutes to complete. How will this survey benefit my agency or tribe? The survey will provide statistical information for tribes to demonstrate their capabilities and challenges when applying for funding and advocating on behalf of their needs. It will also alert tribes about emerging crime trends in Indian Country, so can be more proactive about safeguarding their own tribal members from emerging threats. With increased understanding about the capacity and professionalism of tribal law enforcement, the CTLEA will also help raise the profile of tribal law enforcement, which can assist tribes in forming stronger partnerships and gaining access to vital criminal justice resources.

This survey is being conducted to better understand the unique functions of tribal law enforcement; the complexity surrounding tribal, state, and federal jurisdictions; and the interrelationships that exist among the different law enforcement agencies in Indian Country. Information collected from this survey will help inform funding and policy decisions to help tribes access the resources they need for public safety. Your participation in the CTLEA is critical and will help us gather the most accurate and comprehensive picture of the strengths, capacity, and needs of tribal law enforcement. Who else is it being sent to? The survey is being sent to all tribal law enforcement agencies and those agencies with special authority including natural resources, and fish and wildlife agencies that serve federally recognized tribes and have the authority to issue arrests and/or citations. For the project to be successful and representative of all of Indian Country, it is important that we hear from all tribal law enforcement agencies. How will these results be used? The results will be used to develop an accurate and comprehensive understanding of the administration, operations, services, and capabilities, as well as the challenges, resource gaps, and emerging crime concerns. With recent legislative changes through the Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA), this information will help us measure changes in tribal law enforcement authority and capacity. The information will help inform federal agencies, as they craft legislation, allocate resources, and develop funding programs that will better meet tribes’ public safety needs. How long will this take? We expect that the survey will take about 30 minutes to complete. How will this survey benefit my agency or tribe? The survey will provide statistical information for tribes to demonstrate their capabilities and challenges when applying for funding and advocating on behalf of their needs. It will also alert tribes about emerging crime trends in Indian Country, so tribes can be more proactive about safeguarding their tribal members from emerging threats. With increased understanding about the capacity and professionalism of tribal law enforcement, the CTLEA will also help raise the profile of tribal law enforcement, which can assist tribes in forming stronger partnerships and gaining access to vital criminal justice resources.

CTLEA Telephone Retrieval Script Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA) Telephone Retrieval Script Hello, may I please speak with (RESPONDENT). My name is (NAME) from NORC at the University of Chicago. You recently completed a questionnaire for the Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA) survey. We received your completed questionnaire, and I want to thank you for your participation. I’m calling now to confirm that we have everything recorded correctly and completely for your agency. It is very important that we have complete data from all agencies to ensure an accurate representation of the services that [tribal/BIA] law enforcement agencies provide to the tribes they serve. This should only take a few minutes of your time. BEGIN READING QUESTION(s) THAT IS (ARE) MISSING INFORMATION OR HAVE INCONSISTENT RESPONSES. 35 36 12. Tribal Leader Announcement Letter U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Statistics Washington, D.C. 20531 Name Title Affiliation Address City, State Zip Code DATE Dear < > < >: As recognized in the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 (TLOA) (P.L. 111-211, 124 Stat. 2258, § 251(b)), tribal law enforcement officers are often the first responders to crimes in Indian Country, and tribal justice systems are often the most appropriate institutions for maintaining law and order in Indian Country. While recognizing the significance of tribal justice, TLOA also brought a national voice to the challenges faced by tribal law enforcement. The U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) requests your tribe’s participation in the Census of Tribal Law Enforcement (CTLEA) which will collect information on how tribal agencies carry out law enforcement and help set the course for addressing these challenges and improving safety for Indian Country today and the generations ahead. . Data collected from the CTLEA survey will: Inform more equitable and targeted allocation of federal funds Support federal legislation that empowers tribal sovereignty Alert tribes about emerging public safety concerns Raise the profile of tribal law enforcement The survey was developed in consultation with tribal leaders, federal agencies, and tribal justice agencies and reviewed by an Expert Panel. The survey was piloted and submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for comments by the public. Data collection will begin on DATE. Your tribe’s law enforcement leader will receive a copy of the questionnaire by mail. We ask for your support in seeing that this is completed and returned to NORC at the University of Chicago in a timely manner. Participation is voluntary, but for the project to be successful and representative of all of Indian Country, it is important that we hear from all tribal law enforcement agencies. For comments or questions about the CTLEA program, please contact Steven W. Perry, BJS Program Manager, at 202-307-0777 or e-mail at [email protected]. We hope that you see the value of this survey and will help us promote its development and completion with your fellow tribal leaders from across the country. Sincerely, BJS Director 37 38 13 - CTLEA Data Collection Project Summary BJS Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies Gathering Crime and Justice Data to Support Safer Communities Who is working on CTLEA? The Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 mandates that BJS “establish and implement such tribal data collection systems as the BJS Director determines to be necessary.” BJS is working with NORC, IACP, and ICLES on survey development and all CTLEA data collection activities. The 2018 Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA) will be conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the statistical agency for the U.S. Department of Justice. The CTLEA will collect information from all tribal law enforcement agencies serving federally recognized tribes and will provide a detailed picture of tribal law enforcement. This information will provide tribal, federal, state, and local governments with improved crime and justice data to inform policy making and support safer communities. How were the CTLEA survey questions developed? CTLEA staff drafted potential survey questions and then sought input from a panel of tribal leaders, justice experts, and tribal law enforcement agencies, as well as from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and other federal agencies. The Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 mandates that BJS “establish and implement such tribal data collection systems as the BJS Director determines to be necessary.” BJS is working with NORC at the University of Chicago (NORC), the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), and IACP’s Indian Country Law Enforcement Section (ICLES) to develop the CTLEA survey and data collection protocols. BJS’ goal for the CTLEA is to implement a re-occurring tribal law enforcement focused data collection program to study the administration and operational characteristics of tribal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. As part of the survey development, CTLEA project staff convened a tribal law enforcement expert panel that included representatives from 18 tribal police departments as well as representatives from Alaska Native Villages, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the FBI’s Indian country law enforcement section, and other DOJ offices. The panel gathered input on information needs and survey content. CTLEA staff then conducted a pilot test to ensure that agency representatives could easily understand and complete the survey. Why is the CTLEA important? This is the first BJS survey that focuses specifically on tribal law enforcement agencies. It will provide vital information to tribal justice agencies, state and local agencies, policy makers, and the general public about the services tribal agencies provide and the needs and obstacles they face in their efforts to serve their communities. The results of the CTLEA survey will provide valuable information to tribal leaders and law enforcement agencies by: During 2018, twenty tribal law enforcement agencies were invited to complete the draft version of the CTLEA survey and participate in cognitive interviews. A total of 18 agencies (90%) completed the survey and 16 agency representatives provided detailed feedback during in-depth interview sessions. The interviews asked the respondents about: 1) the clarity and comprehensiveness of the questions and response options; 2) the availability of the requested information, and 3) how long the survey took the respondent to complete. Based on feedback from these informative sessions, CTLEA project staff revised the survey to add or modify response options and instructions. h elping tribal justice agencies educate and inform others about their work ¬¬ providing quantitative information to measure crime on tribal land providing baseline and trend information on the changing environment and issues facing tribal law enforcement agencies ¬¬ describing the technological challenges that tribal law enforcement agencies face ¬¬ informing national, state, and local policymakers on the needs of tribal law enforcement agencies for staffing. ¬¬ When will CTLEA begin? The CTLEA survey will be mailed to tribal law enforcement agencies in summer 2019, pending Office of Management and Budget final approval. What data will CTLEA collect? How can you contact us? CTLEA will collect information from the agencies on their administrative structure, responsibilities, operations, and resources. The surveys will also collect information to help us better understand the obstacles tribal law enforcement agencies face when providing services. If you have questions regarding CTLEA data collection, please contact NORC at [email protected]. Questions cover the following topics: staffing training and certification ¬¬ funding sources ¬¬ workload, including arrests and calls for service ¬¬ equipment ¬¬ technology uses and needs ¬¬ data sharing with other tribal, local, state and federal agencies ¬¬ emerging crime and justice problems ¬¬ ¬¬ 39 40 14.CTLEA Cognitive Test Invite Letter U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Statistics Washington, D.C. 20531 MONTH and DATE, 2018 Name Title Affiliation Address City, State Zip Code Dear < > < >: I am writing to request your participation in a test of the 2018 Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA) pilot survey being conducted by the NORC at the University of Chicago on behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS).

Thank you in advance for your participation! 48 Responses to frequently asked questions: Why are you conducting this survey? This survey is being conducted to better understand the unique functions of tribal law enforcement; the complexity surrounding tribal, state, and federal jurisdictions; and the interrelationships that exist among the different law enforcement agencies in Indian Country. Information collected from this survey will help inform funding and policy decisions to help tribes access the resources they need for public safety. Your participation in the CTLEA is critical and will help us gather the most accurate and comprehensive picture of the strengths, capacity, and needs of tribal law enforcement. PILOT AGENCIES: The pilot is being conducted survey to help us develop a survey that collects critical information from tribal law enforcement agencies. Who else is it being sent to? The survey is being sent to all tribal law enforcement agencies and those agencies with special authority including natural resources, fish and wildlife, casino and gaming enforcement that serve federally recognized tribes and have the authority to issue arrests and/or citations. For the project to be successful and representative of all of Indian Country, it is important that we hear from all tribal law enforcement agencies. PILOT AGENCIES: A select number of agencies were sent the pilot survey based on the size and location of the agency and resident population. How will these results be used? The results will be used to develop an accurate and comprehensive understanding of the administration, operations, services, and capabilities, as well as the challenges, resource gaps, and emerging crime concerns. With recent legislative changes through the Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA), this information will help us measure changes in tribal law enforcement authority and capacity. The information will help inform federal agencies, as they craft legislation, allocate resources, and develop funding programs that will better meet tribes’ public safety needs. PILOT AGENCIES: Your response to the pilot survey will help us to refine the survey questions that will be used during the full data collection. How long will this take? TLE: We expect that the survey will take about 30 minutes to complete. PILOT AGENCIES: The interview to review the survey content and your experience completing the survey will take approximately 1 hour. How will this survey benefit my agency or tribe? 49 The survey will provide statistical information for tribes to demonstrate their capabilities and challenges when applying for funding and advocating on behalf of their needs. It will also alert tribes about emerging crime trends in Indian Country, so tribes can be more proactive about safeguarding their tribal members from emerging threats. With increased understanding about the capacity and professionalism of tribal law enforcement, the CTLEA will also help raise the profile of tribal law enforcement, which can assist tribes in forming stronger partnerships and gaining access to vital criminal justice resources. PILOT AGENCIES: Your participation in the pilot survey will help us develop a survey that collects critical information from tribal law enforcement agencies. 50 CTLEA - Law Enforcement Telephone Voicemail Script Respondent’s Direct Telephone Line Hello!

BJS CTLEA Summary December 2015 Bureau of Justice Statistics December 2015 Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies T he Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the statistical agency for the U.S. Department of Justice, is designing a new data collection effort called the Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA). CTLEA will collect information from tribal law enforcement agencies serving federally recognized tribes, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) operated law enforcement agencies and Alaskan Village Public Safety Offices (VPSOs). By developing three separate surveys, one for each type of tribal law enforcement agency, CTLEA will provide a detailed picture of law enforcement for each of the agency types and will aid federal, state, local and tribal governments in their future policy and funding decisions. The surveys are expected to have a set of core questions to be asked of all agencies and a series of questions that will focus specifically on items relevant to the agency type. What information will be collected? CTLEA will collect information from the surveyed agencies on their administrative structure, responsibilities, operations, and resources. Information will also be collected on the potential obstacles faced by tribal law enforcement agencies and VPSOs when providing services. BJS anticipates that questions will be asked requesting information about the following topics: Recruitment and staffing Training and certification Funding sources Current crime levels and emerging crime and justice problems Criminal justice workloads Coordination for other justice agencies Equipment Technology uses and needs Data sharing with other tribal, local, state and federal agencies Who is working on the program? CTLEA partially fulfills the BJS mandate from the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 (TLOA) that BJS “establish and implement such tribal data collection systems as the BJS Director determines to be necessary.” BJS is working with NORC at the University of Chicago (NORC), the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the IACP’s Indian Country Law Enforcement Section (ICLES) to develop the three surveys. How will the surveys be developed? Project staff will seek input from panels of tribal leaders, justice experts, and tribal law enforcement agencies, as well as from Federal agencies including Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Three expert panel meetings will also be convened as a platform to collect input and feedback during the survey development. Each meeting will focus on one survey so that topics of concern to each type of agency may be fully explored. When will data collection begin? BJS anticipates that surveys will be mailed in early 2017 and will ask questions about calendar year 2016. Why is it important to collect these data? This is the first BJS statistical data collection effort that focuses specifically on tribal law enforcement agencies and will provide information to tribal justice agencies, state and local agencies, policy makers, and the general public about the responsibilities, size, and structure of tribal law enforcement agencies; the services provided; agency needs; and challenges faced. Collecting these data will benefit tribal law enforcement agencies by: providing a means for tribal justice agencies to educate and inform others about their work providing factual, unbiased and comparison information that can be used to justify budgetary requests providing baseline information to gauge the changing environment in which tribal law enforcement agencies work describing the unique challenges that tribal law enforcement agencies face informing national, state and local policymakers and funding sources of the needs of tribal law enforcement agencies. How can you contact us? If you would like to contribute to the development of the CTLEA surveys or have any questions about the CTLEA program, please contact NORC at CTLEA@NORC.org.

CTLEA Pilot Survey Email Template EMAIL SCRIPTS FOR PILOT FOLLOW-UP INITIAL EMAIL: Dear Chief/Director LASTNAME, A copy of the [Census of Tribal Law Enforcement (CTLEA)/ Census of Bureau of Indian Affairs Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA-BIA)] pilot survey was sent to your agency on DATE. I wanted to confirm that your agency received the survey and to see if you had any questions. The U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) will be conducting the [CTLEA/CTLEABIA] in 2017. This survey will ask all [tribal/BIA] law enforcement agencies to provide information about agency functions, staffing, workloads, resource utilization and needs. To prepare for this national survey BJS is conducting a pilot test of the [CTLEA/CTLEA-BIA] survey and is asking for help from your agency. We hope that your agency will participate in the [CTLEA/CTLEA-BIA] pilot test by completing and returning the survey that was mailed to you and returning it to NORC, using the provided envelope. It should take about 30/45 minutes to complete the survey and one hour to participate in a telephone debriefing. Your agency’s participation in the pilot test is voluntary. However, without input from [tribal/BIA] law enforcement agencies, we will not receive feedback on the availability of requested information and confirmation of the amount of time needed to complete the survey before the main study is launched. If you need a replacement copy of the survey emailed to you, have any questions or comments, or if the survey has been delegated to another staff person at your agency, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your participation. FOLLOW UP EMAIL AFTER SURVEY REQUEST: Hello Chief/Director LASTNAME, I hope you are well. I wanted to confirm that you received a copy of the [Census of Tribal Law Enforcement (CTLEA)/Census of Bureau of Indian Affairs Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA-BIA)] survey requested when we last spoke. If you have any questions regarding the survey, please feel free to contact me by email (CTLEA@NORC.org) or phone (PHONE). FOLLOW UP EMAIL: Dear Chief/Director LASTNAME, I have been unable to reach you by phone to discuss the [Census of Tribal Law Enforcement (CTLEA)/ Census of Bureau of Indian Affairs Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA-BIA)]. As you may remember, the goal of the [CTLEA/CTLEA-BIA] is to identify workloads, staffing, and resource utilization and needs of 83 [tribal/BIA] law enforcement agencies. We are seeking your agency’s help with the pilot survey. The study will be most impactful if it is informed by law enforcement agencies who are directly involved in law enforcement services on tribal lands. NORC at the University of Chicago is the data collection agent for the CTLEA. The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Indian Country Law Enforcement section (ICLES) is also assisting BJS with this important study. Participation in the pilot test by your tribal/BIA law enforcement agency is voluntary.

The survey can be delegated to any knowledgeable person at your agency. Upon receipt of your completed questionnaire, a NORC representative will contact you to arrange a time to discuss the survey. This debriefing should take no more than one hour and we will use your feedback to revise the questionnaire and data collection procedures prior to the national data collection effort. Please retain a copy of the survey to reference during the debriefing call. In order to complete the pilot test in a timely manner, we ask that you complete the survey by DATE. We hope that you will be able to help us with this review. If you need assistance with the questionnaire, please contact NORC toll-free at NUMBER or via e-mail at ctlea@norc.org.
