LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Kentucky launched a new public dashboard that will allow users to track domestic violence data and access critical information on shelters and support services.
First Lady Britainy Beshear announced the dashboard's launch Thursday alongside the release of the 2025 Domestic Violence Data Report.
Built by the Criminal Justice Statistics Analysis Center, the dashboard not only compiles data from state reports going back to 2022, but provides information on available shelters and resources.
It features several interactive maps that break down victims and offenders into demographic groups, as well as where they're located across the state. The dashboard also shows where the most criminal cases and/or protective orders were filed.
"By working with partners across the commonwealth, we’re making sure survivors and their families have the support they need to move forward," said Gov. Andy Beshear.
According to the newly-released 2025 data report, levels of domestic violence in the state have remained "stable" compared to 2024.Â
Other findings include:
- 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.
JC-3 forms are completed by police officers who respond to a report of domestic violence, date violence or abuse. The number of those forms filled out increased in 2025, the release said. There was also a 4.23% increase in arrests made "related to domestic violence."
"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," Britainy Beshear said.
