1.
Populations are based on July 1st preliminary postcensal populations for 2007 (based on the 2001 Census in 2006 Census boundaries), Demography Division, Statistics Canada. Populations are adjusted to follow policing boundaries. Populations for 2008 are not yet available.
2.
Personnel data for 2008 were not available; therefore 2007 personnel data were substituted.
3.
Non-respondent.
4.
This police force opened in 2006. Data is included in Sûreté du Québec.
5.
This police force employs Native Special Constables. Native Special Constables are personnel with limited law enforcement authority. They provide a restrictive policing role within Aboriginal communities and act as liaison between fully-sworn police officers and Aboriginal members of the community.
Note(s):
Use caution in comparing forces: The number of officers may not reflect the number available for general community policing because some officers in certain communities are restricted to specific locations (e.g. ports, airports).
