Overview of This Information 

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, 

BJS estimates that 3,000 respondents 

will complete the SGPLEA survey form 

with an average burden per respondent 

of 2.5 hours. 

6. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: There are an estimated 7,500 

total annual burden hours associated 

with this collection.
