B. Statistical Methods
1. Universe and Respondent Selection
This data collection will be a census of law enforcement aviation units from among agencies with 100 or more officers. No sampling is involved with this collection.
2. Procedures for Collecting Information
The census will be conducted initially by mailout. The address mailing list will be updated prior to mailout in order to maintain a current list of the respondents. Personal telephone interviews will be conducted for non-respondents.
3. Methods to Maximize Response
We will do everything possible to maximize response, including telephone facsimile transmission, telephone interviews, and on-site assistance. Response rates for prior BJS law enforcement surveys and censuses have typically been 95% and above.
4. Testing of Procedures
The census instrument has been pretested in three selected jurisdictions by individuals that will be receiving the final census instrument. Comments received as a result of that testing have been incorporated into the census instrument accompanying this ICR.
