Crime in Missouri 2012 MISSOURI STATE HIGHWAY PATROL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPEMENT DIVISION STATISTICAL ANALYSIS CENTER FOREWORD This publication is produced by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Statistical Analysis Center. It is intended to provide a basic understanding of Missouri crime problems, their characteristics, and the law enforcement actions being taken to address these. The Missouri State Highway Patrol assumed management of the Missouri Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program in 2001. It is the responsibilities of the UCR Program to collect, maintain, and ensure the integrity of Missouri UCR crime statistics. In addition, the Missouri UCR Program is responsible for reporting monthly crime statistics to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Uniform Crime Reporting Program. This report is produced annually to document crime activity reported to these programs. I encourage all criminal justice and other public officials to review this publication. If additional research or statistical information services about Missouri's crime totals are needed, please contact the Statistical Analysis Center for assistance. RONALD K. REPLOGLE, Colonel Superintendent Crime in Missouri, 2012 i Foreword Crime in Missouri, 2012 ii Foreword ACKNOWLEDGMENT The Missouri Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program has worked with Missouri law enforcement agencies to meet mandatory reporting compliance as mandated by Section 43.505 RSMo. The direction and efforts of Missouri UCR Program Director Kyle Comer and staff of the Missouri UCR Program are instrumental to the Program's success. Without the efforts by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Information and Communications Technology Division, this report would not have been possible. Financial support provided by the Missouri Department of Public Safety to the Statistical Analysis Center and the Missouri UCR Program to administer UCR data collection is also appreciated. Missouri law enforcement agencies that submit crime and employment information to the Missouri UCR Program play a critical role in development of this report. Their participation in the program is indicative of their desire to improve Missouri’s law enforcement information capabilities. Over the past years, the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics has supported, through grant funds, the Missouri SAC's efforts to provide publications like Crime in Missouri and other information services to the Missouri criminal justice community. Their financial support and technical assistance are appreciated. Ronald G.
