Data on drug arrests are collected as part of OJA's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program and are based upon figures submitted by law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin. The Drug Arrests Report includes detailed data on total drug-related arrests of adults and juveniles, with specific attention paid to arrests by drug type and race of offender. Since a large proportion of drug arrests are made by law enforcement agencies from the County of Milwaukee, Appendix A in each report separates drug arrest figures into those made by Milwaukee County law enforcement agencies and those made by all other Wisconsin law enforcement agencies. These reports are written by the staff of the Statistical Analysis Center and are available in PDF format.
