This report examines data collected through the annual “Police Administration Survey” conducted by the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics. This is the primary mechanism for the collection of data on police personnel and expenditures from each municipal, provincial and federal police service in Canada. With the exception of independent First Nations police services, all First Nations police personnel and expenditures falling under the jurisdiction of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are reported under RCMP federal policing. Throughout this report, police officer strength refers to the rate of police officers per 100,000 population.
