This information collection will establish an up-to-date reference database of anthropometric data about law enforcement officers (LEOs) in the United States. Data collection will occur in 4 U.S. geographic areas with a goal of collecting complete measurements on 1000 LEOs. An anthropometer, a beam caliper, tape measures, and an electronic scale will be used to collect traditional anthropometry data. A hand scanner, head scanner, foot scanner, and whole body scanner, housed in a mobile trailer, will be used for 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional body shape measurements. Findings will be used to (1) define the adjustment range of seats and restraint systems and other safety features of cruiser cabs, and (2) improving fit and sizing systems and personal protective gear.
US Code:
29 USC 651
Name of Law: Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1970
This is a new, one-time collection. The available national anthropometric data on law enforcement officers are outdated (manual measurements conducted in 1975) and need to be updated to reflect characteristics of the current Law Enforcement Officer workforce.
