Note(s):
A census metropolitan area (CMA) consists of one or more neighbouring municipalities situated around a major urban core. A CMA must have a total population of at least 100,000 of which 50,000 or more live in the urban core. To be included in the CMA, other adjacent municipalities must have a high degree of integration with the central urban area, as measured by commuting flows derived from census data. A CMA typically comprises more than one police service. The Oshawa CMA is not presented in this table due to the incongruity between police service jurisdictional boundaries and CMA boundaries. Excludes data from the Saint John Police Service and from the Québec City Police Service.

Table note 1

Rates are calculated on the basis of 100,000 population. Populations are based upon July 1 estimates from Statistics Canada, Centre for Demography.

Table note 2

In Quebec, the information management system used by a majority of police services generates a relatively high proportion of unknown values for the variable "most dangerous weapon present in the incident". Although firearm-related crimes are likely correctly recorded in the vast majority of cases, undercounting remains possible. Therefore, caution should be used when comparing data from Quebec to data from other provinces or territories.

Table note 3

Gatineau refers to the Quebec part of the Ottawa–Gatineau census metropolitan area.
