Note: The category "Indigenous" refers to police services that served a population where more than 50% of the population they serve identified as Aboriginal in the 2016 Census, or lived on reserve. The category "Non-Indigenous" refers to those police services where the majority of the population did not identify as Aboriginal in the 2016 Census or did not live on reserve. See the section "Data sources and concepts" for an explanation of the method used to identify police services serving majority Indigenous populations. Includes accused aged 12 to 89 years. Children under the age of 12 cannot be charged with a criminal offence. Excludes police services not reporting to the UCR2 survey. Overall, the data from the UCR2 survey covers 90% of the police services identified as serving Indigenous populations and 85% of their populations. Populations are based upon July 1st estimates from Statistics Canada, Centre for Demography.
