UCR Policy Spotlight: State Performance Standards
UCR participating states agreed to be bound by a set of requirements needed to fairly enforce the UCR Act and the UCR Agreement. Accordingly, these states are required to undergo periodic compliance reviews, administered by, and with oversight from the UCR Audit Subcommittee and UCR Board of Directors. Contained in the State Performance Standards are those standards that states are expected to reasonably be able to demonstrate compliance with.

The full set of standards is available in this document.
View the UCR State Performance Standards as well as all of the policies and procedures adopted by the UCR Board of Directors in the Policies & Procedures section of the UCR website.
