Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)
The UCR Program was conceived in 1929 by the International Association of Chiefs of Police to meet a need for reliable, uniform crime statistics for the nation. In 1930, the FBI was tasked with collecting, publishing, and archiving those statistics.
The data on this site is collected by the Criminal Justice Information Center from law enforcement agencies across the state. The data and information shown are for informational purposes only and should not be used to draw any conclusions or generate any reports regarding statewide crime.
