1. Populations are based on preliminary postcensal estimates for 2010, Statistics Canada, Demography Division. Populations are adjusted to follow policing boundaries. 2. The weighted clearance rate is based on the same principle used to create the police-reported Crime Severity Index, whereby more serious offences are assigned a higher weight than less serious offences. Applying this concept to clearance rates means that, for example, the clearance of a homicide, robbery or break and enter receives a higher weight than the clearance of less serious offences such as minor theft, mischief and disturbing the peace. 3. Counts for Montréal Police Service have been imputed based on 2009 data. 4. Crime statistics include the RCMP Halifax District detachment. Police officer strength is for Halifax Police only. 5. Saskatoon Police report that there may have been a problem with their 2010 clearance statistics and that the current rates may be revised in 2012.
