The Pennsylvania State Police gives the public instant access to its on-line PA Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) System. UCR data is used by police departments and municipal officials to measure trends to adjust crime-fighting efforts and resources. It has been recognized as an effective planning tool.

Police departments now enter their information directly over the Internet. This program makes this information not only more complete and accurate, but it may also encourage departments who did not participate in the past to begin filing crime statistics. The on-line statistics through this application are available as soon as the information is entered.

Citizens can go to the web site and view the latest information. The systems allows visitors to create their own queries and reports to access specific crime information by department, by municipality, by county, or statewide.
