Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: New collection.
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: Body Worn Camera Supplement 
(BWCS) to the Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics 
(LEMAS) Survey
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: No agency form number at this 
time. The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the 
Bureau of Justice Statistics, in the Office of Justice Programs.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Respondents will be general purpose state and 
local law enforcement agencies (LEAs), including police departments, 
sheriff's offices, and state law enforcement agencies. Abstract: Since 
1987, BJS has collected information about the personnel, policies, and 
practices of law enforcement agencies via the Law Enforcement 
Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) survey. This core 
survey, which has been administered every 4 to 6 years, has been used 
to produce nationally representative estimates of the functions and 
responsibilities of law enforcement agencies and the staff serving in 
those organizations. In addition to core management and administrative 
information, BJS will also begin using the LEMAS platform for topical 
supplemental surveys, fielded periodically, to collect data on key 
issues in contemporary policing. The body worn camera supplement (BWC) 
is the first of these topical supplements. Specifically, the BWCS 
survey will focus on LEAs use of body-worn media and will ask agencies 
about their experiences with body-worn cameras, factors that influence 
the choice to acquire the technology, and considerations that guide 
policies for the use of these technologies. This survey will build on 
the existing LEMAS program and provide key information on an issue that 
is of particular interest to the law enforcement community and the 
communities they serve.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An agency-level 
survey will be sent to approximately 5,063 LEA respondents with the 
goal of obtaining 3,122 completed surveys. The expected burden placed 
on these respondents is about 23 minutes per respondent.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The total respondent burden is approximately 1,884 
burden hours.
