SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    Community-oriented policing promotes the use of various resources 
and policing-community partnerships for developing strategies to 
identify, analyze, and address community law enforcement problems at 
their source. Recognizing the significant role non-traditional 
enforcement efforts play in Endangered Species Act (ESA) enforcement in 
the Northwest, the National Marine Fisheries Service proposes to 
conduct a survey to evaluate the success of its Office for Law 
Enforcement's community-oriented policing program for ESA enforcement 
for anadromous species in the Pacific Northwest.

II. Method of Collection

    Information will be gathered through both voluntary self-
administered surveys and in-depth interviews.
