    Overview of This information:
    (1) Type of Information Collection: New information collection, 
2009-2010 BJS Survey of Campus Law Enforcement Agencies (CLEA).
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: 2009-2010 BJS Survey of 
Campus Law Enforcement Agencies.
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form label is CJ-44C, 
Bureau of Justice Statistics, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. 
Department of Justice.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Universities and Colleges. The 
purpose of the CLEA project is to provide detailed statistical 
information on police and security agencies serving university and 
college campuses. The project will collect information from campus 
police and security agencies on functions performed, number and type 
(sworn vs. nonsworn) of officers employed, arrest jurisdiction, patrol 
coverage, operating budget, race and gender of officers, screening 
methods used for hiring new officers, education and training 
requirements for officers, salaries and special pay for officers, 
weapons authorized for use by officers, type and number of vehicles 
operated, use of in-field and fixed-site computers, community policing 
activities, emergency preparedness activities, type and coverage of 
mass notification systems being used, special units/programs operated, 
and clearance rates for part I offenses.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: It is 
estimated that information will be collected from 1,500 campus law 
enforcement agencies, including approximately 1,300 agencies serving 4-
year campuses, and 200 agencies serving 2-year campuses. Annual cost to 
the respondents is based on the number of hours involved in providing 
information from agency records. Public reporting burden for this 
collection of information is estimated to average 3 hours per data 
collection form. The estimate of hour burden is based on prior BJS 
surveys of law enforcement agencies that collected similar types of 
data.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this 
collection is 4,500 hours.
