2022 crime statistics are based on a download of data from the Records Management System the second and third week of January 2023. Statistics here are a “snapshot” in time and can change for various reasons (i.e. incidents being reclassified, later reporting of incidents). The system is continuously being updated and as a result, some changes to statistics published in previous statistical reports may occur. It should be noted that statistics provided in this report may differ from those used by Statistics Canada and other police agencies who may only count the most serious violation in a criminal incident. Caution should be taken when making comparison of data.
