The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) requests a revision to the currently approved collection to conduct the 2020 Police-Public Contact Survey (PPCS). The current PPCS approval expires 5/31/2021; this request seeks a modification to allow a second administration of the survey inside the timeframe of the already-cleared request. The PPCS is typically conducted about every three years and BJS requests clearance to conduct the next iteration ahead of schedule with a revised instrument that includes a question (Question 40 in Attachment 5) on how residents reacted during police contact that was not on the 2018 survey, but was in previous iterations (2015 most recently).As a supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), the PPCS, collects information about the nature and outcomes (e.g., arrest, ticket/warning) of the public’s contacts with the police. Contact with the police refers to voluntary contacts, such as residents seeking help or assistance from the police, and involuntary contacts, such as police approaching residents during a street or traffic stop.
The latest form for Police Public Contact Survey (PPCS) expires 2021-05-31 and can be found here.
