Methamphetamine Related Offenses
In 2005, Kentucky adopted legislation that restricts the sale of products containing pseudoephedrine (PSE) and
ephedrine, ingredients used to manufacture methamphetamine. In 2007, Kentucky became the second state to
implement a real-time statewide electronic monitoring system capable of blocking the sale of PSE products to
individuals in violation of purchasing more than 9 grams in 30 days (KRS 218A.1446). The program, MethCheck,
provides 24/7 access to law enforcement officers conducting investigations on individuals suspected of violations of
PSE restrictions. In 2011 the system blocked the purchase of 32,259 boxes of pseudoephedrine, resulting in 78,195
grams of PSE being kept out of the hands of potential methamphetamine cooks. MethCheck is a partnership
between the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) Professional Standards Branch, the Cabinet for Health and Family
Services, and the Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy.
To illustrate the incidence of methamphetamine manufacturing, trafficking, and abuse in the Commonwealth, this
section presents data from the Kentucky State Police, the Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts, and the
Kentucky Department of Corrections.
Kentucky State Police reported 3,346 methamphetamine related offenses in 2011, down from 4,389 in 2010, a
decrease of 23.7%.
During 2011, 1,233 law enforcement officers responded to clandestine methamphetamine lab incidents. This
is a 14.4% increase from 1,078 incidents responded to in 2010.
In 2011, there were 3,423 methamphetamine related cases in Circuit Court, 3,536 cases in District Court, and
13 cases in Juvenile Court.
The total number of methamphetamine related charges disposed in Circuit Court rose from 4,867 in 2010 to
6,300 in 2011. In District Court, the number of charges rose from 4,713 in 2010 to 5,115 in 2011, an increase
of 8.6%.
In 2011, the average sentence imposed for methamphetamine related offenses was 11 years.
The Kentucky Department of Corrections reported 776 new commitments for methamphetamine offenses in
2011, up from 636 in 2010.

Prescription Drug Related Offenses
Misuse, abuse, and illegal sale of prescription drugs represent a significant threat to public health and safety in the
Commonwealth of Kentucky. Illegal prescription drug activity has reached epidemic proportions, with more and
more incidents of “doctor shopping” being uncovered and the street values of “legal drugs” reaching all-time highs.
The Kentucky All Schedule Prescription Electronic Reporting (KASPER) system is Kentucky’s Prescription Drug
Monitoring Program (PDMP). PDMP’s vary in their characteristics, but they all have a common goal of reducing
prescription drug abuse and diversion. KASPER is one of the most comprehensive PDMP’s in the country. The
system catalogs schedule II-V controlled substance prescriptions dispensed within the state (Hydrocodone,
Oxycodone, Methadone, Alprazolam, Tramadol, Buprenorphine, Suboxone, and Diazepam), and provides a tool for
practitioners, pharmacists, law enforcement, and regulatory agencies to improve patient safety and fight the abuse
and diversion of controlled substance prescription medications.
KASPER is housed in the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Office of the Inspector General, with the
maintenance and enhancements to the system provided by the Cabinet’s Office of Administrative and Technology
Services. Kentucky statutes require dispensers of controlled substances to report the prescriptions dispensed once
every seven days. The data are then available to authorized users of the system, who may be prescribers for medical
treatment of a patient, dispensers for pharmaceutical treatment of a patient, law enforcement officers for an active
drug related investigation, licensing boards for a licensee, the Kentucky Medicaid program for a Medicaid member or
provider, a grand jury (by subpoena), or a judge or probation or parole office administering a drug diversion or
probation program.
A KASPER report shows the controlled substance prescriptions a patient received for a specified time period, as well
as the practitioner who prescribed them and the dispenser who dispensed them. Kentucky Revised Statute 218A.240
provides that the Cabinet shall use the data for investigations, research, statistical analysis and educational purposes,
and shall proactively identify trends in controlled substance usage and other potential problem areas.
This section includes data on prescription drug activity in the Commonwealth as collected by the Kentucky State
Police, Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts, Kentucky Department of Corrections, Kentucky Department
of Juvenile Justice, and KASPER.
In 2011, there were 1,323 prescription drug related cases in Circuit Court, 5,202 in District Court, and 91
cases in Juvenile Court.
There were 72 new prescription drug related commitments to the Department of Corrections in 2011. The
average prison sentence for prescription drug related offenses in 2011 was 7 years.
In 2011, KASPER records demonstrate that Kentucky’s population received 152.1 doses per capita of
controlled substance prescriptions.

In 2010, a total of 3,835 domestic violence cases were disposed in Kentucky’s Courts of Law. 150 of these
cases in Circuit Court, 3,682 in District Court, and the remaining 3 in Juvenile Court.
Of the 3,682 domestic violence cases disposed in District Courts during 2010, the largest number, 565, were
heard in the Twenty-First Judicial District (Bath, Menifee, Rowan, and Montgomery Counties). Two judicial
districts, the Second (McCracken County) and the Thirty-First (Floyd County) disposed no cases, and the
Thirty-Sixth Judicial District (Knott and Magoffin Counties) disposed only one domestic violence case.

This is true for 56.6% (85) of the domestic violence cases disposed in Circuit Court, and 33.3% (1) of those in
