4 Alcohol and Crime in Wyoming INTRODUCTION The Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police has been collecting substance related data from all persons booked into county detention facilities in Wyoming since The Association s first effort involved collecting alcohol-related arrest data in only ten counties in Wyoming for a period of six-months. The pilot project, as well as subsequent data-collection and analysis, have received grant funding assistance from the Wyoming Department of Transportation Highway Safety Program. The data-collection process has been refined since that initial effort and has now been institutionalized as a part of the book-in process year-round for custodial arrests in all twentythree counties in Wyoming. Although it had long been suspected that alcohol was a factor in a large number of custodial arrests in Wyoming, reliable data had not been available previously to more accurately determine the scope and impact of alcohol on crime in this state. A sufficient amount of alcohol, as well as other substance-related arrest data has been collected during the past eight years which can now be analyzed for the purpose of identifying trends relative to alcohol involvement in crime in Wyoming. Consistent patterns of alcohol involvement for certain crimes are now more evident and the frequency of occurrence more predictable. To date, information has been collected from a total of 118,194 persons who were arrested and subsequently detained in a detention facility in Wyoming. Specific information collected during the book-in process includes the following: Type of offense Whether alcohol or drugs were involved Location of last consumption and point of sale Known blood alcohol content levels for alcohol related arrests; and Demographic information Although the data fields and the process for collection were standardized and relatively consistent for the first five years, the time periods for collection and reporting were not. This was due mainly to the timing and availability of grant funding. This inconsistency in reporting periods made it difficult to compare arrest statistics from year-to-year. Beginning in 2010, the data collection and analysis has been an ongoing process and the report is being published annually on a calendar-year basis. The addition of this year s data allows for a three-year trends analysis which is included in this report for the first time. The Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police publish the results and analysis of the data-collection efforts each year in three separate reports. The main report provides statewide statistics and averages, along with comparisons of county statistics in specific categories. An Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police 2

5 Alcohol and Crime in Wyoming accompanying supplemental report provides county, community and local law enforcement agency specific statistics. The third report is an Executive Summary which provides selected statistics, information and highlights from the main report. These reports can be accessed online on the following websites: and The information collected from a total of 18,322 persons who were arrested and subsequently detained in a county detention facility in Wyoming during the previous year (January 1 through December 31, 2012) confirms what law enforcement officers who patrol the highways and who respond to calls for service in Wyoming already know from experience alcohol is the contributing factor in most situations that result in someone going to jail. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Executive Summary highlights a few of the significant findings contained in this report. It focuses on issues that are of obvious concern or which may be of greater interest to the general public; however, a careful review of other relevant findings and statistics contained in the main body of this report is essential in order to gain a more complete perspective of the impact of alcohol on crime in Wyoming. This report contains an analysis of alcohol-related arrest information collected in all twenty-three counties in Wyoming during a twelve-month time period (January 1, through December 31, 2012) by the Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police. Information was collected from a total of 18,322 persons who were arrested and subsequently detained in a county detention facility. The substancerelated arrest data contained in this report provides a detailed, statistical picture of the impact that alcohol abuse is having on crime in Wyoming. The profile of the average person taken to jail in Wyoming continues to be relatively consistent with previous years. Eight out of ten times it was a male average age Approximately 10% of the time it was an out-of-state visitor and 6% of the time it was an in-state visitor. Juvenile arrests that resulted in detention in a county detention facility accounted for less than 1% of the total custodial arrests. Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police 3

6 Alcohol and Crime in Wyoming A review of the data collected from persons arrested and subsequently taken to jail indicates that Wyoming continues to be relatively safe from what is generally considered to be serious crime. The number of persons who are arrested for felonies are relatively low when compared to the number of persons arrested for minor crimes (misdemeanors). Felony arrests accounted for 7% of the total arrests statewide. Although Wyoming is relatively safe from what is generally considered to be serious crime (felonies), the high percentage of alcohol-involved arrests, the inordinate number of arrests for public intoxication and driving under the influence, and the high levels of blood alcohol content for drivers arrested for being impaired represent a real and significant threat to public safety. A total of 18,322 persons were arrested statewide and taken to jail in and eight out of ten times the arrest involved alcohol and/or other drugs. Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police 4

7 Alcohol and Crime in Wyoming The level of alcohol involvement reported in the 118,194 reported arrests during the last eight years provides statistical evidence that alcohol is, and continues to be, the drug that has the greatest impact on crime in Wyoming. Alcohol was involved in 72.12% of all custodial arrests. Methamphetamine was involved in 2.42% of the 18,322 reported arrests. Other drugs were involved in 9.52% of the reported arrests. Arrests for public intoxication accounted for 18.78% of all arrests. The average blood alcohol content for persons arrested for public intoxication was Driving under the influence arrests accounted for 32.89% of all arrests. The average reported blood alcohol content for DUI arrests statewide was % of persons arrested for DUI had a reported BAC level above 0.16 and 10% had a BAC of 0.24 or greater. The average reported BAC for 627 persons who were arrested for DUI after being involved in a traffic crash was The age group (in 5-year increments) with the highest percentage of DUI arrests was age (19%), followed by age (15%) and (12%). 1 In Wyoming, a person driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 is legally presumed to be impaired. Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police 5

8 Alcohol and Crime in Wyoming In order to grasp the significance of these blood alcohol content statistics, it should be noted that a physically fit male who weighs 180 pounds would have to consume at least seven drinks in one hour in order to achieve a BAC of 0.15 a female weighing 120 pounds would have to consume five drinks in one hour. Please refer to the Alcohol Impairment Educational Guides for males and females in the Attachments Section of this report for information about the level of impairment for other body weights and drinks consumed. PUBLIC CONCERNS The statistics contained in this report identify significant public safety issues which merit further discussion, analysis and action by local law enforcement, citizens and state/community leaders The high percentage of alcohol involved arrests (72.12%), the inordinate number of arrests for public intoxication (4,601) and DUI (4,761) and the high levels of BAC recorded for these individuals (average BAC: for public intoxication and for DUI) appear to validate the concerns about alcohol abuse expressed by Wyoming residents in the most recent statewide public opinion survey 2. Some excerpts from the survey that involved 4,798 Wyoming residents: 79.7% view alcohol abuse by Wyoming adults as a serious or somewhat serious problem When Wyoming residents were asked whether they would support a state law that would prohibit selling or serving alcohol to someone who is obviously intoxicated: o 64.3% strongly supported such a law o 17.9% somewhat supported such a law 84.5% of Wyoming residents believe that drinking and driving in their community is a serious or somewhat serious problem. 2 Wyoming Alcohol Use Issues Survey, Wyoming Survey & Analysis Center, November 2012 Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police 6

9 Alcohol and Crime in Wyoming SIGNIFICANT STATISTICS AND FINDINGS This report provides statewide statistics and averages, along with comparisons of county statistics in specific categories. In addition, there are approximately one hundred pages of data in a supplemental report that provides county, community and local law enforcement agency specific statistics. Detailed charts and graphs included in the Data/Statistics section of this report are helpful in identifying trends involving alcohol-related arrest activity and provide a statistical picture of the circumstances which result in someone being arrested and subsequently taken to jail in Wyoming. The impact of substance abuse on crime statistics varies by county across the state. This report also includes a detailed analysis by county for comparison purposes. Listed below are a few of the noteworthy statewide averages and county specific alcohol-related statistics and findings from the Data/Statistics section of this report. *************************************** Alcohol was a factor in 72.12% of the custodial arrests in Wyoming. o Counties with significantly higher statistics: Crook 97.3% Teton 89.15% Weston 89.13% Alcohol was involved in 75.35% of all misdemeanor arrests.

11 JUVENILE/ UNDERAGE DATA Alcohol and Crime in Wyoming It should be noted that the data in this report does not represent a complete accounting of juvenile arrests as these arrests often do not result in detention in a county facility. It should also be noted that the number of juveniles taken into custody and placed in a detention center this year for being a minor in possession of alcohol and for driving under the influence was significantly less than the previous two years (88% less for MIP and 56% less for DUI than in 2010). Unfortunately, the number of youth ages 18 to 20 arrested for the same offenses did not show similar positive results. Listed below are a few significant statistics relative to substance involvement in juvenile arrests for A chart that provides significant statistics for are also included. 2.96% of all persons arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) were under the age of 21. Juveniles accounted for less than 1% (.0077) of the arrests statewide % of the juvenile arrests involved alcohol. 4.26% of the juvenile arrests involved methamphetamine % of the juvenile arrests involved other drugs. 340 minors arrested for alcohol-related offenses reported obtaining alcohol at: o Party 30% o Liquor Store 19.12% o Home 32.06% o Drive-up <1% o Bar 18.24% Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police 9

12 TRENDS ANALYSIS Alcohol and Crime in Wyoming For the first time, this report includes graphs that begin to provide a longitudinal view of the statistics which have a direct bearing on public safety. Specifically, these charts track the numbers and percentages of persons arrested which involved alcohol or other drugs, for public intoxication and for driving under the influence for the previous three years.

13 Alcohol and Crime in Wyoming TRAFFIC CRASH DATA Because many of the arrests in Wyoming involve traffic crashes, this report also incorporates alcohol and drug-involved crash data collected by the Wyoming Department of Transportation. Graphs that track the number and percentage of alcohol-involved traffic crashes and fatality crashes in Wyoming now included as a part of this report.

14 Alcohol and Crime in Wyoming PROJECT DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION The Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police contracted with Johnson and Associates, a Wyoming based management consulting firm, to manage and staff this project to create the master database, to collect and input data, to author the final report and to make presentations to select groups. The Association has contracted with Johnson and Associates to manage and staff this project since its inception. A task force comprised of administrators and detention facility personnel from each of the county law enforcement agencies involved in the initial data collection efforts in 2005 determined the scope and intent of the project and provided specific direction for its implementation. In the following years, all law enforcement and detention facility administrators in the state were involved in deciding the appropriate fields for collection of data, selecting the subject areas that would be targeted for analysis and refining the process and procedures for collecting the information. A supply of reporting forms and self-addressed stamped envelopes were provided to all detention facilities in the state - along with an instruction sheet for processing the completed reporting forms. In addition, all detention facility personnel who were assigned the responsibility to oversee their agencies data collection were provided individual orientations. All completed reporting forms were submitted to Johnson and Associates for data entry on a weekly basis. The master database for this project was created in a manner that will allow harvesting of additional information in the future should a need or particular area of interest arise. The data in this report is presented by county and by department, by actual numbers and percentages, and by various categories of interest. The information was assembled in this manner in order to assist law enforcement administrators, as well as community leaders, to better analyze the information and to facilitate follow-up inquiries of notable concerns. DATA COLLECTION A one-page reporting form consisting of fill-in or checked boxes was constructed and refined during the course of this project. It is estimated that the form requires the booking and/or arresting officer two-to-three minutes to fill out during the book-in process. Specific information that was collected during the book-in process include: type of offense, whether alcohol was involved; whether drugs were involved; location of last consumption and point of sale; known blood alcohol content levels for arrests involving public intoxication, driving under the influence and minors in possession; and demographic information. (A sample of the reporting form is included in this report) A total of 18,322 reporting forms were submitted by the twenty-three county detention facilities and the Fremont County Alcohol Crisis Center during the twelve-month data collection period January 1 through December 31, Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police 12

15 DATA /STATISTICS Alcohol and Crime in Wyoming All information contained in the reporting forms that were submitted by the participating counties was entered into a master data base by week and by month. This information was subsequently assembled by category, by county, and by department in order to facilitate appropriate comparisons and further analysis. A detailed breakdown of information for each county is available in a separate Supplemental Report. 3 A sample of the county statistics is included in this report. Natrona County was selected as the sample to be included as this county generated the greatest number of arrest statistics.
