Hello [contact name], my name is [first name] [last name] and I am calling from ICF International. We are contacting campus law enforcement agencies on behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics in preparation for the 2011 Survey of Campus Law Enforcement Agencies. The survey collects information about the personnel, functions, budgets, policies, and programs of campus law enforcement agencies. [If completed in 2004: “Your agency completed the most recent survey in 2005, and we thank you for that.”]

We need to identify the appropriate contact person in your agency to complete the 2011 survey and we need to obtain his or her email address or telephone number. Are you the person who would help us complete the survey?

[If respondent notes that their campus does not have its own law enforcement agency]

Thank you for letting me know. I will note that in our records. Can you tell me who employs the officers who provide the routine law enforcement services such as patrol or responding to calls for service on campus, including a municipal or county police agency, Sheriff’s office, State law enforcement agency, or private security firm? [record responses]. Thank you for your time today. [END CALL]

[If no]

Can you help me identify the person who would best know about your agency’s personnel, functions, budgets, policies, and programs?

[if yes] Thank you so much. Can you please spell his/her name for me? [record name] What is the best way is to reach [new contact name]? [record contact information; if phone number is provided, probe for an email address]

[if no] Can you tell me if there is anyone else who might know who I should contact? Can you spell their name for me? [record name] What is the best way is to reach [new contact name]? [record contact information; probe for email address] Thank you so much for your help today. [END CALL]

[If yes]

Great, I want to thank you in advance for helping us with this survey. May I verify your contact information? BJS provided us with contact information from the Clery^* data. We have your phone number as xxx-xxx-xxxx, which is the number we called to reach you today. Is that the best number to reach you in the future?

[if no] Can you give me the best number to reach you? [record]

Excellent, thanks. In approximately [##] days/weeks we will be asking you to complete a Web-based survey and we would like to send you the link by email.

[if we have an email address already] We have your email address listed as [email address]. Is this the best email to use to send you the survey link?

[if no] Can you tell me the best email address at which to reach you? [record]

Thanks so much. The last thing I’d like to verify is the mailing address at your office. We have your address listed as [address]. Is that correct?

[If no] Can you tell me the correct address?

Thanks so much for your help today. We will in touch with more details about the survey, but can I answer any questions about the survey for you today? Again, my name is [name] from ICF International. I can provide you with my telephone number and email address if you would like that information today.

[If response is “Yes, I’d like the information” then provide telephone number and email address.]

[If response is “No thanks”, skip to:]

Thanks once again. [END CALL]

*Clery data refers to the data institutions of higher education report to the Department of Education under The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (20 USC § 1092(f)). The Clery Act requires colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. Campus law enforcement agencies are generally the campus representative responsible for reporting Clery data, and, as such, contact information in that file will lead to the person who is likely to be the respondent. Respondents will be familiar with the term “Clery”.

I am asking for your help in providing information for your agency as part of this national survey.

Your campus law enforcement agency may have completed the 2004-05 survey and if so, we sincerely thank you for your participation at that time and we ask that you continue to contribute to this effort by completing the 2011 survey. ICF, an international research organization headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, is carrying out the 2011 data collection effort on behalf of BJS. The goal of this program is to generate accurate and reliable national statistics about the police and security agencies serving college and university campuses in the U.S.
