  • Selected Police-Reported Crime and Calls for Service During the COVID-19 Pandemic, March 2020 to June 2021 Released at 8:30 A.M
    Selected police-reported crime and calls for service during the COVID-19 pandemic, March 2020 to June 2021 Released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time in The Daily, Tuesday, August 10, 2021 Police-reported data on selected types of crimes and calls for service during the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 to June 2021 are now available. Note to readers The Canadian Centre for Justice and Community Safety Statistics is conducting a special survey collection from a sample of police services across Canada to measure the impact of COVID-19 on selected types of crimes and calls for service. Data will continue to be collected monthly until December 2021, and will continue to be reported regularly. This is the seventh release of this special data collection by Statistics Canada. Previously published data may have been revised. For this reference period, 19 police services provided data on a voluntary basis. These police services are the Calgary Police Service, Edmonton Police Service, Halton Regional Police Service, Kennebecasis Regional Police Force, London Police Service, Montréal Police Service, Ontario Provincial Police, Ottawa Police Service, Regina Police Service, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, Saskatoon Police Service, Sûreté du Québec, Toronto Police Service, Vancouver Police Department, Victoria Police Department, Waterloo Regional Police Service, Winnipeg Police Service, and York Regional Police. Police services that responded to this survey serve more than two-thirds (71%) of the Canadian population. The Edmonton Police Service, Montréal Police Service, RCMP, Sûreté du Québec and Winnipeg Police Service were unable to provide data on calls for service; as a result, the police services that did provide these data serve nearly one-third (32%) of the Canadian population.
