1.
Populations are based on July 1st preliminary postcensal populations for 2008 (based on the 2006 Census), Demography Division, Statistics Canada. Populations are adjusted to follow policing boundaries. Populations for 2009 are not yet available.
2.
Non-respondent.
3.
Personnel data for 2009 were not available; therefore 2008 personnel data were substituted.
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).
