Description

BJS has conducted five waves of data collection with law enforcement training academies and will update that collection with this solicitation. The Census of Law Enforcement Training Academies (CLETA) will provide accurate and timely national statistics about law enforcement academies’ recruits, curricula, staff, and resources. This 36-month program includes (1) instrumentation, (2) frame development, (3) fielding the CLETA in 2027 and (4) data cleaning, analysis, and delivery of raw and final datasets. State and local law enforcement training academies are responsible for administering mandatory basic training for newly appointed or elected law enforcement officers as required by federal or state law, depending upon the agency hiring the new officer. These academies are operated by state, county, and municipal agencies as well as universities, colleges, and technical schools. According to the 2018 CLETA, there were 681 academies that provided instruction to 59,500 recruits a year. BJS conducted its first CLETA in 2002 and administered four more waves in 2006, 2013, 2018, and 2022.
