Abstract: The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) has previously
conducted the Census of Tribal Law Enforcement (CTLEA) through a survey
that collects data on the staffing, functions, workloads, training, and
operations of tribal law enforcement agencies serving tribal lands. The
2025 CTLEA will be the second administration of this collection. It
will provide insight on emerging issues and challenges facing tribal
law enforcement agencies since it was last conducted in 2019 and
establish a time series of the data collection. BJS uses the
information gathered in the CTLEA in published reports and statistics.
The reports will be made available to the U.S. Congress, tribal nations
and justice agencies, practitioners, researchers, students, the media,
others interested in criminal justice statistics, and the public via
the BJS website.
