Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved collection for which approval has expired.
2. Title of the Form/Collection: 2022 Census of Law Enforcement Training Academies (CLETA).
3. Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: The form number is CJ-52. The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), in the Office of Justice Programs.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract: Respondents will include all state and local law enforcement training academies in the United States that provide basic training to law enforcement recruits.
Abstract: BJS has conducted the CLETA regularly since 2002. The 2022 CLETA will be the fifth administration. Historically, the CLETA generates an enumeration of all state and local training academies that provide basic law enforcement training in the United States. The CLETA provides details about the instructors, curricula, resources, and recruits at the approximately 750 training academies operating nationally. The survey asks about the operating entity; resources available to recruits; total operating budget; full-time and part-time instructors or trainers and their education, sworn officer experience, certifications, and ongoing training; sex, race and Hispanic origin, prior educational attainment, and veteran status of recruits starting and completing training; and the length and content of basic training curricula offered at the academy.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: BJS estimates approximately 750 law enforcement academies with a respondent burden of about 2 hours per academy to complete the survey form and about 10 minutes per agency of data quality follow-up time for approximately 450 of those academies.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: There are an estimated 1,575 total burden hours associated with this information collection.
