A census of State and local law
enforcement training academies will be conducted in January 2014
for yearend 2013. The census will collect information about law
enforcement training staff, recruits/trainees, curricula,
facilities, and policies.
The 2013 CLETA burden estimate
was calculated using an estimate of 2 hours per respondent for the
completion of the 14-page, 43-question questionnaire being
completed by 700 training academies. The 2-hour estimate is based
on feedback received during the administration of the 2006 CLETA
instrument and the pilot testing of the 2013 CLETA instrument,
taking into account the differences between the two data collection
instruments.
