Abstract:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) requests clearance to conduct the 2025 Census of Prosecutor Offices (2025 CPO), an iteration of the National Survey of Prosecutors (NSP) series (OMB Control Number 1121-0149, latest expiration 12/31/2023). This collection gathers general administration information on staffing, budgets, and caseloads of state prosecutor offices. BJS has collected data from state court prosecutors through a survey or census since 1990. The last census was conducted in 2007, and the last survey was conducted in 2020. 2025 CPO seeks information on the administration and operational characteristics of the 2,349 prosecutor offices that handle felony cases in state criminal courts. This effort is part of a sequence of BJS’s statistical collections that focus on key criminal justice measures and institutions. .

Short Statement:
Compared to the 2007 CPO, the burden for the 2025 CPO will be higher. The 2007 CPO instrument took 30 minutes and had a 95% response rate. To obtain a high response rate, the questions asked in the 2025 CPO were constructed in a fashion that closely aligned with the 2007 CPO. Nonetheless, the instrument was adjusted to reflect modern prosecutorial practices and topics of interest to the Department, the field of prosecutors, scholars, and the general public. The instrument burden is higher in the 2025 CPO (45 minutes) to account for these adjustments. Additionally, we are offering a 1-hour informational webinar to help boost the response rate.
