Maryland Statistical Analysis Center

The Maryland Statistical Analysis Center (MSAC) resides within the Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention and Policy to facilitate statewide crime data analysis and sharing to generate effective local policies and solutions. The Center works within the Office to support State’s public safety priorities with data and research. The Center plays a vital role in collecting and analyzing Statewide criminal justice statistics to support evidence-based policies and practices.

The Center is part of a network of 51 Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs) located throughout the U.S., and supported by the Justice Information Resource Network (JIRN), previously known as the Justice Research and Statistics Association (JRSA), and the State Justice Statistics Program grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS).

Legislative Reports 

At the direction of the General Assembly and the Governor, and in partnership with public safety agencies, including law enforcement and state’s attorneys, public health agencies, and advocates, the Center develops guidance for collecting and submitting criminal justice data. The Center submits all legislatively required reports and publications in accordance with the law, on a semi-annual, annual, bi-annual, or one-time basis.

Downloadable Crime Data and Documents  

The Center coordinates with Maryland’s Enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS), also known as MD iMAP, and the Maryland Department of State Police to  submit and access data pertaining to crime. 

Crime Dashboard

The Crime Dashboard includes crime statistics at the county, municipal, and national level. The Maryland Department of State Police Central Records Division provides county and municipal data through the Maryland Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program which records all crimes reported to Maryland law enforcement agencies, between 1975 and 2020. National data on the Dashboard comes from UCR data collected and published by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
