  Geography: Province or territory, Census metropolitan area

  Description:

  This article examines trends in police personnel (including selected demographic characteristics) and expenditures on policing (a component of justice system spending) for Canada, the provinces and territories, and census metropolitan areas. Information on officers per population is presented for each of the national, provincial, and census metropolitan area levels. Additionally, other statistics, including hirings and departures, eligibility to retire, and expenditures are presented for the provincial and national levels. Finally, selected personnel data are presented at the national level, including rank, gender, age group, and years of service of police officers.

  The information contained in this report provides an overview of the Canadian policing community and how it continues to change over time. Findings are primarily based on data from the Police Administration Survey. To provide a more complete picture of the state of policing in Canada, the following contextual information are included: policing responsibilities and strategies within the economics of policing discussions; international data on police personnel and gender from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and wage information from Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey (LFS).

  Geography: Province or territory, Census metropolitan area

  Description:

  This report has two components. The first is an analytical component which examines trends in police personnel and expenditures at the national, provincial and census metropolitan area (CMA) levels, including data by rank and gender. Appropriate context is also included in terms of recent developments in the police community such as community policing and private security.

  The second component is a tabular component which summarizes crime, personnel and expenditure statistics for all municipal police departments in Canada. Key ratios such as per officer strengths, per capita costs, clearance rates, and violent and property crime rates are included for each force.

  Justice issues addressed: Policing accounts for approximately 60% of all justice expenditures. While crime remains high on the list of public concerns, governments have been forced to make cuts to most public sector areas, including policing. The analysis of trends in key ratios such as per capita costs, population per officer, police to civilian ratios, and the number of offences per officer can help shed some light on how the police community has responded to this changing environment.
