Notes:
For financial and other reasons
some local police agencies are not able to report arrest
data to the Uniform Crime Reporting Program. Of the agencies
reporting data to the UCR program, these are the top
100 agencies that report the most arrests for
marijuana possession in this state. The table above ranks
the reporting agencies with the most marijuana arrests
by the arrest rate for marijuana possession.
The population listing in the
table refers to the coverage population of the local police
agency. University police stations, many divisions of the state police (SP), and some other agencies
do not have applicable coverage populations that are reported
along with arrest data reported to the UCR program. Consequently
arrest rates per 100,000 population can not be calculated
and reported for these agencies and they are not included
in the above rankings.
