OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. The Tribal Law and Order Act, enacted on July 29, 2010, requires the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to establish and implement a tribal data collection system (P.L. 111-211, 124 Stat. 2258 § 251(b)). The Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA) and the Census of Tribal Court Systems (CTCS) help fulfill BJS's legislative mandate. This program includes (1) convening an expert panel and conducting stakeholder engagement, (2) developing the questionnaires for the CTLEA and CTCS, (2) updating the universe frames, (3) fielding the CTLEA and CTCS, (4) cleaning and validating data, and (5) delivering raw data files, final datasets, and documentation.
