Abstract:
The Police Public Contact Supplement is a supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey that was developed to provide national level information on the nature and consequences of respondents' interactions with police and the possible use of excessive force by law enforcement officers during these interactions. The PPCS is conducted every three years, from July through December, and is asked of all persons 16 years of age or older in NCVS interviewed households. The 2015 PPCS will be collected solely using computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) technology.

Short Statement:
Due to the increase in the NCVS sample size in the 11 states with boosted sample, the inclusion of non-English speaking NCVS respondents in the PPCS sample, the additional minute of burden added to the short interview, and new phased in NCVS cases due to the decennial sample redesign we expect a 1,096 hour increase from the respondent burden hours requested in 2011. The 91,663 PPCS respondents anticipated in 2015 reflects an increase in the actual number of PPCS respondents in 2011 but a decline from the 96,747 respondents formally approved for the 2011 PPCS through the Notice of OMB Action (ICR Reference Number 201104-1121-003). In 2011, there was a discrepancy between the anticipated number of respondents (72,560) and burden hours (4,322) described in the Part A Supporting Statement and the number of respondents (96,747) and burden hours (5,626) formally requested through ROCIS. It is unclear why the number of requested burden hours and respondents did not align with the number anticipated in the OMB supporting statement. However, several changes to the core NCVS and the PPCS since 2011 should result in an increased number of respondents and burden hours.
