Abstract:
The goal of the 2023 LEMAS PATOW is to obtain information from law enforcement agencies (LEAs) on two topics: post-academy law enforcement training and officer wellness programs that address suicide. The sample will consist of approximately 3,500 state, county, and local general-purpose law enforcement agencies in the United States. The sample will be nationally-representative, following the sampling strategy approved for the 2020 LEMAS core survey (OMB No. 1121-0240, expires 07/31/2023) and using the Law Enforcement Agency Roster (LEAR) that includes approximately 16,000 general-purpose agencies as a frame. The LEAR has been used as the frame for law enforcement establishment surveys since the 2016 LEMAS. BJS plans to field the 2023 LEMAS PATOW survey from September 2023 through May 2024. The LEMAS PATOW is part of BJS’s Law Enforcement Core Statistics (LECS) program. This program includes surveys on law enforcement operations, which is within BJS’s authorizing statute (see 34 USC § 10132(c)(4)). Core to BJS’s effort in describing the operations of LEAs are the Census of State and Local LEAs (CSLLEA) (OMB Control Number 1121-0346) conducted every four years since 1992, and the LEMAS core survey (OMB Control Number 1121-0240) conducted every 3-5 years since 1987.
