Populations are based on July 1st preliminary postcensal populations for 2009 (based on the 2006 Census),
Demography Division, Statistics Canada. Populations are adjusted to follow
policing boundaries. Populations for 2010 are not yet available.
The police-reported Crime Severity Index measures
changes in the severity of crime from year to year. Each type of offence is
assigned a weight derived from actual sentences handed down by courts.
The weighted clearance rate is based on the
same principle used to create the Crime Index, whereby more serious offences
are assigned a higher weight than less serious offences. Applying this concept
to clearance rates means that, for example, the clearance of a homicide, robbery
or break and enter receives a higher weight than the clearance of less serious
offences such as minor theft, mischief and disturbing the peace.
Number of personnel includes 56.3 federally
or provincially funded officers and civilian personnel.
The Saskatchewan portion of Lloydminster is
now being policed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Alberta.

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).
Note for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police municipal contracts: Civilian employees
provided by the municipality are not included under "Other personnel".
