The proposed information collection
includes all campus law enforcement agencies (LEAs) serving public
and private postsecondary educational institutions offering
in-person instruction with a full-time enrollment of 1,000 or more
students. BJS plans to field the 2021 Survey of Campus Law
Enforcement Agencies from late September 2021 to mid-May 2022 with
approximately 2,100 campus LEAs.
The total burden estimate for
the 2021 SCLEA has been reduced by 267 hours compared to the 2011
SCLEA. The 2021 SCLEA utilizes a single survey instrument compared
to the previous long and short form design used in the last SCLEA
wave. Almost half of the 2011 SCLEA agencies (46%) served larger
campuses, which meant they received the long form with twice the
estimated burden as agencies serving smaller campuses and receiving
the short form. The 2021 SCLEA used the 2011 long form as a
starting point and the expert panel served to update and prioritize
survey items with respondent burden in mind. The burden estimate is
based on the average time reported for survey completion during
cognitive interviews.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
