Uniform Crime Reports
The Alaska Department of Public Safety annually publishes Crime Reported in Alaska, which contains statistics on crimes reported to Alaska law enforcement authorities participating in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting program. Not all Alaska law enforcement agencies participate in the UCR program. The Department of Public Safety plans to make future editions of Crime Reported in Alaska available online at its website, but this has not yet been effected. UCR data for Alaska is also available in the FBI's annual publication Crime in the United States; see Crime in the U.S.
