With the Bureau of Justice Statistics, this project seeks to combine its law enforcement data collections into a cohesive law enforcement collection program and reshape its
content to focus on agency performance and measures needed to better describe contemporary topics related to agency staffing, regulations, and policies. By redesigning the data collection components, BJS will be able to provide detailed information about law enforcement agency performance that aligns these data with an ongoing national debate about the need for new measures and metrics for law enforcement agencies in relation to its impact on various genders.
