## 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 State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies (CSLLEA)                

                    3.                     *Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department of Justice sponsoring the collection:*                     The form number is CJ-38. 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 publicly funded State, county, and local law enforcement agencies in the United States that employ the equivalent of at least one full-time sworn officer with general arrest powers. Both general purpose agencies (                    *i.e.,*                     any public agency with sworn officers whose patrol and enforcement responsibilities are primarily delimited by the boundaries of a municipal, county, or State Government) and special purpose agencies (                    *e.g.,*                     campus law enforcement, transportation, natural resources, etc.) meeting the above description will be asked to respond.                

*Abstract:*                     BJS has conducted the CSLLEA regularly since 1992. The 2022 CSLLEA will be the eighth administration. Historically, the CSLLEA generates an enumeration of all publicly funded State, county, and local law enforcement agencies operating in the United States. The CSLLEA provides complete personnel counts and an overview of the functions performed for approximately 20,000 law enforcement agencies operating nationally. The survey asks about the level of government that operates the agency; oversight of any agency sub-components; total operating budget; full-time and part-time personnel counts for sworn, limited sworn, and non-sworn employees; sex of full-time sworn, limited sworn, and non-sworn personnel; race and Hispanic origin of full-time sworn officers; and the functions the agency performs on a regular or primary basis. Upon completion, the 2022 CSLLEA will serve as the sampling frame for future law enforcement surveys administered by BJS.                

                    5.                    *An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond:*                     BJS estimates a maximum of 20,000 State, county, and local law enforcement agencies with a respondent burden of about 32 minutes per agency to complete the survey form and about 15 minutes per agency of follow-up time. A random sample of 1,000 agencies will be selected to receive a pre-notification letter to inform the agency head of the upcoming survey and provide an opportunity to update the agency's contact information, which is estimated to add 2 minutes per sampled agency.                

                    6.                     *An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection:*                     There are an estimated 15,700 total burden hours associated with this information collection.
