Crime in Utah | Introduction
BCI forwards data collected from Utah law enforcement agencies to the FBI, who in turn combines it
with data from other states to compile and publish an annual report called Crime in the United States.
UCR data is collected in two formats: “Summary reporting” (Summary), which has undergone only minor
changes since the 1930s, and “National Incident Based Reporting System” (NIBRS) which uses
computerized data systems to collect more detailed information. 112 agencies in Utah submitted at
least one month or more of NIBRS data in 2020, accounting for 78.32% of the agencies and covering
94.59% of Utah’s population. 12 agencies in Utah (or 8.39%) submitted Summary data, while 19
agencies (or 13.29%) did not submit any data.
In the Summary system, crimes are divided into two categories: Part I Crimes, which include criminal
homicide (murder, non-negligent manslaughter, and manslaughter by negligence), rape (which is
defined by the UCR program as the carnal knowledge of a person, without the consent of the victim,
including instances where the victim is incapable of giving consent because of his/her age or because of
his/her temporary or permanent mental or physical condition), robbery, aggravated assault, burglary,
larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson; and Part II Crimes, which include all other non-traffic
crimes. The Part I crimes, except manslaughter by negligence, make up the “crime index” used by the
FBI to track our nation’s crime situation. Therefore, these crimes are often referred to as “Index Crimes”.
The number of known offenses and arrests are reported on Part I Crimes, while only arrests are reported
on Part II Crimes. If multiple Part I offenses are committed in the same criminal episode, only the most
serious offense is reported.
The Part I Crimes are also categorized as violent crimes (murder and non-negligent manslaughter, rape,
robbery, and aggravated assault) and property crimes (burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and
arson) for analysis purposes.
The statistics presented in this report are only as accurate as the data provided by the local law
enforcement agencies.
Some law enforcement agencies in Utah do not submit their crime statistics to BCI, but forward them
directly to the FBI. Such entities include military installations, national parks, and tribal lands. To view
the crime statistics for such agencies, please refer to the FBI’s Crime in the United States publication.
The FBI made the determination to transition from Summary reporting to solely NIBRS reporting by
January 2021. The 2020 Crime in Utah report will be the last one containing Summary data.

Crime in Utah |Crime Factors
Crime Factors
In order to produce a meaningful statistical profile of crime within the State of Utah, each law
enforcement agency is asked to participate in the UCR program, reporting data on crimes that became
known to law enforcement within their jurisdiction. Utah uses the same offense classifications used in
the national UCR program so that the resulting crime statistics are comparable to those compiled across
the nation.
In the UCR program, crimes are divided into two categories: Part I Crimes (or “Index Crimes”), which
include homicide and non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny,
motor vehicle theft, and arson; and Part II crimes, which include all other non-traffic offenses. Only
arrest data is collected on the Part II crimes.
Crime rates in this publication are based on the stable population of the municipality. Although transient
populations definitely impact the volume and nature of crime, it is impractical to base crime rate
calculations on these fluctuating populations. Therefore, a municipality with high transient populations
may have a higher crime rate than another municipality of a similar size. Characteristics of the
community influence criminal activity and should be considered when attempting to interpret crime
statistics presented herein. Below are some factors which will affect the type and volume of crime that
occurs and is subsequently reported in a given location.
Density and size of the population of the community and of the surrounding area.
Relative stability of the population, including seasonal, commuter, and other transient
populations.
Composition of the population, particularly with reference to age, sex, and socioeconomic
status.
Economic status, including job availability and mores of the population.
Climate, including seasonal weather conditions.
Cultural conditions such as educational levels, recreational opportunities, and religious
characteristics.
Effective strength of law enforcement, including cooperation of neighboring agencies,
reservations and federal law enforcement agencies.
Administrative and investigative emphasis and efficiency of the local law enforcement agency,
including the degree of adherence to crime reporting standards.
Policies of other components of the criminal justice system (i.e., prosecutorial, judicial,
correctional, and probational).
Attitudes of the public toward law enforcement and their crime reporting practices.
This report reflects crime in Utah as far as it is completely
and accurately reported by local law enforcement agencies to
the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification.

Crime in Utah |Summary Based Reporting and National Incident Based Reporting
Generally, offenses of law occur singly as opposed to many being committed simultaneously. In these
single-offense situations it must be decided whether the crime was one of the “Index Crimes”; if so, the
offense is scored accordingly (homicide, rape, robbery, etc.). However, if several offenses are committed
at the same time by a person or a group of persons, depending on which type of UCR reporting an
agency participates in may vary the data collected. For example, during a convenience store robbery the
store clerk is killed, a customer assaulted, merchandise stolen, and a customer’s car stolen. Agencies
that submit their data using the Summary method must report this crime under the guidelines of the
FBI’s hierarchy rule, in which only the most serious offense is counted and the others are ignored for
statistical reporting purposes. In the example above, only the murder of the clerk would be counted in
the agency’s UCR statistics and for statistical reporting purposes it would be as if the other crimes did
not occur.
Agencies utilizing the NIBRS method do not use the hierarchy rule, so all criminal events in an incident
are counted statistically. In the example above, the homicide, the assault, the theft, and the motor
vehicle theft are all counted.
The data shown in the section “Index Crimes by Agency” reports the statistics for all agencies as if they
were all reporting using the Summary format. The data from the NIBRS agencies is converted into
Summary data that the agency would have reported had it been a Summary agency. The uniformity in
reporting allows for more direct comparisons between agencies.
When viewing the data for the NIBRS agencies, starting on page 15, keep in mind that direct
comparisons between the “Index Crimes by Agency” and the NIBRS data cannot be made because of the
different nature of their methodologies. If an agency submits data using the NIBRS format, the data
seen for that agency in the NIBRS section is more accurate than the data seen for that same agency in
the “Index Crimes by Agency” section.

Crime in Utah |Scoring Offenses
Scoring Offenses
Using the Summary format, only those offenses that became known to law enforcement for Part I
Crimes and simple assault are counted under the UCR program. The method of scoring offenses varies
with the type of crime committed.
For murder and non-negligent manslaughter, negligent manslaughter, rape, aggravated assault and
simple assault, one offense is scored for each victim, regardless of the number of offenders involved. For
example, two offenders could be involved in the murder of one victim and in this case only one murder
would be scored. If one offender murdered two victims, two homicides would be scored.
For robbery and larceny, one offense is scored for each distinct operation which is separate in time and
place. The number of victims in any one operation does not determine the number of offenses. For
example, if seven patrons in a bar are robbed, only one robbery is scored.
For burglary, one offense is scored for each structure which is illegally entered.
For motor vehicle theft, one offense is scored for each vehicle stolen.
In the Summary reporting system, arrest data is counted for 29 “Part II Crimes”. Part II Crimes include,
but are not limited to, drug offenses, DUI, forgery, counterfeiting, fraud, etc. The Summary reporting
system only counts the number of persons arrested. The hierarchy rule is also applied to scoring the
arrests. If one person is arrested for homicide, rape, motor vehicle theft, possession of narcotics and
weapon law violations, only the arrest for the homicide is counted, as that is the most serious crime.

Crime in Utah |Crime Clock
Crime Clock
The Crime Clock should be viewed with care. Being an aggregate representation of UCR Summary data,
it is designed to convey the annual reported crime experience by showing the relative frequency in
occurrence of the Index Crimes (also known as Part I Crimes). This mode of display should not be taken
to imply regularity in the commission of the Part I Offenses; rather, it represents the annual ratio of
crime to fixed time intervals.
On average, one Index Crime is reported every 6.65 minutes in the state of Utah.

Crime in Utah |National Incident Based Reporting (NIBRS)
The data from the NIBRS system is not directly comparable to the data from the Summary reports.
Information about each incident and arrest is collected for 22 offense categories comprised of 46 Group
A offenses. All offenses that occur in a criminal episode are reported, not just the most serious offense
(as opposed to the “hierarchy rule” outlined on page 10). Only arrest data is collected for 10 Group B
crimes.
Summary mostly gathers information on the ten “Index Crimes” listed on page 9. NIBRS gathers the
“Index Crimes” as well as the following information:
Group A Offenses
Crimes Against Persons Crimes Against Property Crimes Against Society
Murder Robbery Drug / Narcotic Violations
Negligent Manslaughter Burglary/Breaking & Entering Drug Equipment Violations
Forcible Rape Larceny / Theft Offenses Gambling Offenses

by those jurisdictions. They do not reflect statewide data. Criminal incidents reported by the Utah
Division of Wildlife Resources, Utah Highway Patrol, Utah State Parks and Recreation, and the Utah
Transit Authority PD may have occurred anywhere in the state where the agencies have jurisdiction. For

Crimes Against Persons Crimes Against Property Crimes Against Society
Clearance by Arrest: The FBI’s UCR program states that “an offense is cleared by arrest or solved for
crime reporting purposes when at least one person is 1) arrested, 2) charged with the commission of the
offense; and 3) turned over to the court for prosecution (whether following an arrest, court summons,
or police notice)”. Although no physical arrest is made, a clearance may be reported when the offender
is a person under 18 years of age and is cited to appear in juvenile court or before other juvenile
authorities.
Clearance by Exception: The FBI’s UCR program states that “in certain situations, law enforcement is not
able to follow the three outlined steps under ‘Clearance by arrest’ to clear offenses known to them”,
however; if the following questions can be answered ‘yes’, the offense is considered to be ‘cleared by
exception’.
1. Has the investigation definitely established the identity of the offender?
2. Is there enough information to support an arrest, charge, and turning over to the court for
prosecution?
3. Is the exact location of the offender known so that the subject could be taken into custody now?
4. Is there some reason outside law enforcement control that precludes arresting, charging, and
prosecuting the offender?
Since only 112 of the reporting agencies submit NIBRS data, NIBRS statistics reflect only crimes reported
by those jurisdictions. They do not reflect statewide data. Criminal incidents reported by the Utah
Division of Wildlife Resources, Utah Highway Patrol, Utah State Parks and Recreation, and the Utah
Transit Authority PD may have occurred anywhere in the state where the agencies have jurisdiction. For
a list of all agencies that submit NIBRS data, see page 16.

Crime in Utah |Summary Reporting
Summary Reporting
The information in this section is presented in the Summary format. Information from NIBRS agencies is
converted into what that agency would have submitted had it been a Summary agency. This allows for a
more direct comparison between agencies.
Crime Rate per 1,000 indicates how many crimes occurred per every 1,000 residents of the jurisdiction.
However, this does not always reflect an accurate picture of crime in the jurisdiction; it also does not
necessarily mean that the residents of that jurisdiction are more or less likely to commit crime than
residents of other jurisdictions.
Colleges and universities with their own police departments submit information about crimes that occur
on campus property. However, these agencies have a “zero” population as the Census Bureau considers
the students to be residents of the city or unincorporated area in which they live. Crimes reported by
campus police departments are not always committed by students of the school. Many events that
occur on a college or university campus can bring non-students onto the school’s property. The makeup
of the area immediately surrounding the college/university must also be taken into consideration.
Some agencies submitting data to Utah’s UCR database include agencies that cover more than one city
or county. Such agencies include Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Utah Highway Patrol, Utah State
Parks and Recreation, Utah Transit Authority PD, drug task forces, and other such agencies.
Throughout the course of a calendar year, existing law enforcement agencies could disband and new
agencies could be formed. Some agencies do not always submit a full 12 months of data, while some
agencies submit a combination of both Summary and NIBRS data.
The Arrest Data by Agency and the Adult and Juvenile Arrest totals are also presented in the Summary
format so that more direct comparisons can be made between agencies.

*Rape as seen in this section follows the definition of “the carnal knowledge of a person, without the
consent of the victim, including incidents where the victim is incapable of giving consent because of
his/her age or because of his/her temporary or permanent mental or physical incapacity”. Rape as
reported under the Index Crimes by Agency section is not directly comparable to the FBI’s Crime in the
United States publication for rapes which includes other NIBRS sex offenses under its “revised”
definition for rape. For more information regarding other types of sex offenses, please refer to the
NIBRS section of the Crime in Utah report.
**Homicide Total includes Negligent Manslaughter and cannot be directly compared to other Homicide
data within this report.

Crime in Utah |Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted
The data in the tables and charts reflect the number of victim officers, not the number of incidents
or weapons used.
The UCR program considers any part of the body that can be used as weapons (such as hands, fists,
or feet) to be personal weapons and designates them as such in its data.
Not all agencies submit data on the number of officers assaulted in their jurisdiction.
*The Assaults with Injury, Type of Assignments, and Officer Assaults-Time of Day tables are still under
review due to a change in reporting type for the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted that
took place in 2020. They will be added in at a later date.*

Data Collection:
Each year, law enforcement agencies in Utah report the total number of sworn law enforcement
officers and civilians in their agency as of October 31st to the UCR program.
The UCR program defines law enforcement officers as full-time, sworn personnel that possess full
arrest powers, and carry a weapon. Their primary duties include responding to routine calls for police
service, emergency situations, or crime scenes; performing routine patrol; rendering emergency
services, enforcing criminal laws and traffic regulations; and investigating violations of criminal laws
and traffic accidents. These employees’ salaries are paid from law enforcement funds. In addition,
correctional officers and police cadets are included in the officer counts only if they are sworn and
possess full arrest powers.
Civilian counts are inclusive of all full-time employees of the agency, e.g., dispatchers, clerks, and
meter attendants. The se employees’ salaries are paid from law enforcement funds. Furthermore,
correctional officers or jailers that have no police or arrest powers outside the jail are counted as
civilians as long as their salaries are paid from the funds of the law enforcement agency.
Overview:
In 2020, sworn officers accounted for 66.84% of all law enforcement personnel in Utah.
The number of full-time law enforcement employees (civilian and sworn) per 1,000 inhabitants in
Utah for 2020 was 2.49; the rate of sworn officers was 1.67 per 1,000. The UCR program computes
these rates by taking the number of employees, dividing by the population of an agency’s
jurisdiction, and multiplying by 1,000. These numbers do not include the agencies that did not
submit employee data in 2020.
Female employees accounted for 53.13% of all full-time civilian law enforcement employees in 2020.
Males accounted for 92.11% of all full-time sworn law enforcement officers in 2020.
As of October 31, 2020 there were 5,414 sworn law enforcement officers in Utah. Female officers
made up 7.89% (427 officers) with male officers making up 92.11% (4,987) of the sworn law
enforcement officers employed full-time in Utah. These numbers do not include the agencies that did
not submit employee data in 2020.
