Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 36 / Tuesday, February 24, 2015 / Notices 9751 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection: 

New Collection; Perceptions of Safety 

and Police-Community Relations. 

a. The Title of the Form/Collection: 

Survey of Resident Perceptions of Safety 

and Policing & Survey of Officer 

Perceptions of Policing and Department/ 

Organization. 

2. The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

None. U.S. Department of Justice, 

Community Oriented Policing Services 

(COPS) Office. 

3. Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: 

The affected public who will be asked 

to respond to the surveys include: 

• Community residents of the CRI– 

TA site over the age of 18; 

• Sworn and non-sworn police 

officers; and 

The information collected through the 

two respective surveys is to establish a 

baseline to measure the impact of 

technical assistance given to 

Collaborative Reform Initiative (CRI) 

sites to advance community police and 

improve community confidence in the 

police. The four technical assistance 

providers (The Police Foundation, the 

Center for Naval Analyses (CNA), 

Institute of Intergovernmental Research 

(IIR), and Hillard Heintze) or one or 

more survey administration 

organizations will utilize each of the 

two surveys at one point in time for two 

different populations. The surveys will 

be administered prior to the application 

of technical assistance (or shortly 

thereafter) to establish a baseline of 

public and police perception of safety, 

community policing, and policecommunity relations. The data collected 

will cover one point in time in 2015 to 

establish this baseline. The survey 

results will not be used to draw 

conclusions that can be applied to the 

entire nation, but rather only for sites 

COPS chooses to provide technical 

assistance, so a nationally representative 

sample is not recommended. However, 

the surveys can be used in any 

municipality or region in the United 

States. To enhance site sustainability, 

the surveys will serve as tools for CRI 

sites (and future COPS community 

policing sites) to monitor their own 

change efforts and progress over time. 

Sites will be encouraged to administer 

the same survey tools at varying time 

intervals in order to compare pre- and 

post-technical assistance perceptions. 

The sites can infer the impact of 

technical assistance as well as their own 

capacity to sustain change. The 

community resident survey should overrepresent those who have or likely have 

had contact with the police in that 

locality, determined by arrest rates by 

zip code or neighborhood delineation, 

race, and ethnicity. The police survey 

will be disseminated to all sworn and 

non-sworn officers. The detainee survey 

shall be comprised of a convenience 

sample of those who have had recent 

contact with the police in that locality. 

4. An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: An estimated one to five 

percent of members of each community 

will take part in the Survey of Resident 

Perceptions of Safety and Policing. The 

COPS Office estimates 50 sites over the 

approval period of this collection. Based 

on previous use of the survey at the 

Program in Criminal Justice Policy and 

Management at the John F. Kennedy 

School of Government at Harvard 

University (PCJ), the estimated range of 

completion for respondents is expected 

to be between 10 minutes to 15 minutes 

for completion. An estimated 15% of 

police officers of each agency will take 

part in the Survey of Officer Perceptions 

of Policing and Department/

Organization. The COPS Office 

estimates 50 sites over the approval 

period of this collection. Based on 

previous use of the survey by the PCJ, 

the estimated range of completion for 

respondents is expected to be between 

15 minutes and 20 minutes. Of the 

detainees offered the opportunity to 

participate, an estimated 20–25% of 

detainees will agree to participate in the 

Survey of Detainee Perceptions of 

Policing. Based on previous use of the 

survey the PCJ, the estimated range of 

completion for detainee respondents is 

expected to be between five minutes 

and 10 minutes. 

5. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: Surveys will be disseminated 

to respective CRI sites pre-technical 

assistance to gather baseline data. For 

the approval timeframe of this 

collection, the COPS Office estimates 

that it will administer the survey to 50 

community and agency sites: 

The COPS Office estimates that it will 

administer 400 community member and 

100 officer surveys per site: 

• 400 surveys × 50 sites (20,000 

surveys) × 20 minutes = 6,667 hours. 

• 100 surveys × 50 sites (5,000 

surveys) × 20 minutes = 1,667 hours. 

The total estimated burden associated 

with this collection is 8,334 hours.
