Crime data is not collected by the Census Bureau. Other resources are discussed below.

The Kentucky State Police (KSP), through its Computer Technologies Section, Records Branch, and Uniform Crime Reporting staff, make available a number of different annual reports dealing with criminal information within the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

The Crime in Kentucky Annual Reports, containing crime activity by county are available from KSP here.

Since 1930, participating local, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies have voluntarily provided the Nation with a reliable set of crime statistics through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. The FBI, which administers the program, periodically releases the crime statistics to the public. Go to the UCR Data tool.

UCR data is reported by individual law enforcement agencies. To analyze crime data for an entire city or county, data users should utilize the Law Enforcement Agency Identifiers Crosswalk.

Individual police agencies sometimes provide the public with access to crime incidents addressed by their officers.
