Use caution in comparing clearance rates among police services. See “Clearance rate (percent)” under the “Important notes” section. For the Royal Canadian Mounted Police municipal contracts: Expenditures include only the cost billed to the municipality and not the total cost of the contract, nor any additional policing costs.
