General information

Confidentiality

Your answers are confidential.

Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from releasing any information from this survey which would identify a person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent or as permitted by the Statistics Act. The confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act are not affected by either the Access to Information Act or any other legislation. Therefore, for example, the Canada Revenue Agency cannot access identifiable survey data from Statistics Canada.

These survey data will only be used for statistical purposes and will be published in an aggregate form only.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes.

Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and the Yukon.

The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician and returning it with the completed questionnaire. Please specify the organizations with which you do not want to share your data.

For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with the statistical agency of Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

• Police officers who are paid from external agencies through full or partial cost-recovery agreements, (e.g. airport policing contracts).
• Police officer personnel actively replacing, (or ‘backfilling’ the positions held by), police officers on long-term leave from the police service, and who are paid by the police service’s annual budget.

Table A – Number of Police Officer Hirings/Departures within the year by Overall Years of Service As a Police Officer

Overall Years of Service as a Police Officer: Please report the number of years of service as a police officer. Depending on your source for this information, ‘overall years of service’ may exclude prior years of policing experience. For example, many Human Resource Records Management Systems rely on the concept of pensionable years of service when reporting actual years of service. In some cases, systems may not carry over years of service an officer acquired during previous employment with a different police service. Additionally, not all systems distinguish between prior years of service as a civilian employee and prior years of service as a police officer. In both these cases, please report the number of years of service that is available in your system.
Note: Reasons other than the ones mentioned above may exist for why ‘overall years of service’ may exclude prior years of experience for police officers. However, in all cases, please report your data as accurately as possible within the limits of these constraints and exclusions and indicate the nature of and reason for these constraints in the comments.

If information on the years of service accumulated by officers who were hired by or departed your police service during the past calendar or fiscal year is unavailable, please provide the number of officers who were hired or who departed in both Line 9 (Information not available) and Line 10 (Total).

Experienced Police Officers include: Senior Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Constables who achieved the status of a fully-sworn police officer prior to the previous calendar year or fiscal year.

Please do not provide information on the most recent level of education completed (such as in the case of a police officer obtaining a university undergraduate degree during the course of their career as a police officer).
