FRANKFORT, Ky. (July 2, 2026) – Team Kentucky has launched an interactive data dashboard for the public to more easily view data; compare statewide statistics by county and area development district; and gather specific information on offenders, domestic violence shelters and support services, as well as law enforcement-related outcomes. The dashboard includes data from each of Kentucky’s annual domestic violence data reports.
“Every Kentuckian – and every person – should be safe from these heinous crimes and Team Kentucky is committed to making progress as we create a safer commonwealth for everyone,” First Lady Britainy Beshear said. “This new resource will help us better target services across Kentucky, so every survivor knows they have the support needed to seek justice, rebuild their lives and move forward.”
“No one should have to experience domestic violence, which is why my administration has worked to increase support for services and make sure our people are safe,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “By working with partners across the commonwealth, we’re making sure survivors and their families have the support they need to move forward.”
The interactive dashboard was built and will be maintained by the Criminal Justice Statistical Analysis Center, which has compiled the state’s Domestic Violence Data Report since 2023 while managing grants to support law enforcement and victim services.
“Quality data is vital to Team Kentucky’s shared mission to make sure our people are safe and feel safe,” said Criminal Justice Statistical Analysis Center Executive Director Andrew Ritzel. “Our new dashboard will help us further prevent crime while supporting victims and helping law enforcement agencies, advocates and other stakeholders.”
Additionally, Kentucky released the 2025 Domestic Violence Data Report today, which is reflected in the new dashboard.
The 2025 Domestic Violence Data Report shows that levels of domestic violence remained stable compared to the year before. Additionally, there was an increase in filings of electronic JC-3 forms, which are completed upon responding to a report of domestic violence, dating violence or abuse to track incidents and arrests and assist victims with filing for emergency protective orders. The report also shows a 4.23% increase in arrests made related to domestic violence and a slight decrease in the number of individuals who utilized services provided by ZeroV, the state’s coalition of domestic violence shelters.
According to the report:
- 33,786 electronic JC-3 forms related to domestic violence and/or dating violence were filed.
8,301 arrests were made for incidents involving domestic or dating violence and abuse.
20,129 emergency protective orders and temporary interpersonal orders were ordered by the courts.
14,338 individuals received services from ZeroV’s 15 regional domestic violence programs.
19,481 crisis/hotline calls were received through ZeroV’s 15 regional domestic violence programs.
