Department of Justice Publishes Notice on Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted Data Collection
Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes
On August 6, 2025, the Department of Justice published a notice in the Federal Register about collecting data on law enforcement officers who have been killed or assaulted.
The Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS) of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is responsible for this data collection. The FBI will send a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review and approve this activity.
The public is invited to share their comments. You have 60 days to send in your comments—until October 6, 2025. Comments should talk about how useful the information is, if the response time estimates are correct, how to make the data better, and ways to reduce the effort needed to answer.
The goal of this collection is to help the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. The UCR Program is a national center for collecting and sharing information about crime. Each year, it publishes statistics on law enforcement officers who have been killed or assaulted.
The legal authority for this collection is Title 28, United States Code, Section 534.
Key Details of the Collection:
- Type: This is an extension of a previously approved collection.
- Form Title: Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted.
- Form Number: 1-705.
- Responsible Agency: CJIS Division, FBI, Department of Justice.
- Who Responds: Federal, state, county, city, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies. Responding is voluntary.
- Number of Respondents: In 2024, there were 19,328 possible agencies. Of these, 1,084 agencies submitted LEOKA Form 1-705.
- Estimated Responses: The highest number of responses in 2024 was 13,008.
- Time for Each Response: Completing the form takes about 7 minutes per response.
- Total Annual Burden: The total estimated burden for all responses is about 1,517.6 hours each year.
The number of agencies using the summary form (Form 1-705) is expected to decrease over time, as more agencies move to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). Agencies using NIBRS report the same information in a different way.
If you need more information or have questions, you can contact Linda Shriver, Acting Unit Chief at the FBI CJIS Division, by calling 304-625-4830 or emailing the address in the notice.
