Subject: Annual Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)Program Solicitation of Full Time Law Enforcement Employee Counts for 2017
Dear Sir or Madam:
Each year, the FBI UCR Program solicits information from state UCR Programs regarding thenumber of full time law enforcement personnel employed by each law enforcementcontributor. We are asking for your assistance by completing the survey that follows toprovide counts on the number of full time sworn officers and civilian employees on yourdepartment payroll as of October 31, 2017. To ensure the correct employee information iscollected, please remember the following guidelines when completing the survey:
Officer counts are inclusive of all full time, sworn personnel that possess full arrest powers,and carry a weapon. Their primary duties include responding to routine calls for policeservice, emergency situations, or crime scenes, performing routine patrol, renderingemergency services, enforcing criminal laws and traffic regulations, and investigatingviolations of criminal laws and traffic accidents. These employees' salaries are paid from lawenforcement funds. In addition, correctional officers and police cadets should only beincluded in the officer counts if they are sworn and possess full arrest powers.
Civilian counts are inclusive of all full-time employees of the agency, i.e., dispatchers, clerks,and meter attendants. These employees' salaries are paid from law enforcement funds.
Furthermore, correctional officers or jailers that have no police or arrest powers outside thejail should be counted as civilians as long as their salaries are paid from the funds of the lawenforcement agency.
This data will be processed and included in two annual FBI publications, Crime in the United States, and Law Enforcement Officers Killed or Assaulted. These publications assist both state and federal agencies in determining the needs and trends of each locale, to gain knowledge and develop strategies, and to try to prevent these circumstances from occurring through various training and research of this data.
We are now collecting this information electronically and ask that only one person, the Michigan Incident Crime Reporting Representative, completes the form by November 30, 2017. Please do not submit the survey multiple times, only once, providing the title and name of the person doing so.
If you have any questions, please contact us at . Thank you for your assistance and continued participation in the UCR program.
