Published 05/25/24

Law enforcement officials in Utah Highway Patrol dealt with less than one pornography and obscene material violation per day in 2022, according to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).

In total, there were eight pornography and obscene materials violations that Utah Highway Patrol dealt with in 2022.

Drug and narcotic violation was the most common crime in Utah Highway Patrol with 3,006 offenses throughout 2022.

Officers in Utah Highway Patrol were involved in 6,630 offenses throughout the year.

The NIBRS was designed to provide detail and context around crime stats. Under the previous system, only the most serious crime related to an incident would be logged. If an incident involved a homicide as well as aggravated assault and theft, only a homicide would be recorded in criminal statistics.

It is used by law enforcement at all levels, from local to federal. Due to logistical and technological challenges, not every enforcement authority has signed up for NIBRS and stats might not reflect a complete picture of crimes which occurred.
