Of all types of crime tracked by the NIBRS, drug and narcotic violation was the most popular crime handled by the Floyd County Police Department office.

Officers in Floyd County Police Department were involved in 2,326 incidents throughout the year.

The NIBRS was designed to provide detail and context around crime stats. Under the previous system, only the most serious crime related to an incident would be logged.

It is used by law enforcement at all levels, from local to federal.
