REPORT NOTES

Most of the statistical data in this report is derived from the Calgary Police Service records management
system (SENTRY). Disorder data is derived from the Computer aided Dispatch (CAD) system. Data is compiled
by the Corporate Data and Analytics Team of the Bureau of Service & Community Support.
Reporting is based on the most serious offence in the incident. Please note that offences are assigned to the
month in which the offence was reported, which is not necessarily the month the offence occurred. The
reported date is the first point in time at which the police were notified of the offence and reporting lag may
vary due to circumstances (these are typically property crimes where the victim did not report the offence until
a later date, or was unaware of the loss until a later date, or late-reported sexual assaults). Also note that
“attempted” offences are included in these totals. Violent crime, excluding robbery, is counted by the number
of victims, using the most serious offence against the victim. Robbery, and all other crime, is counted by
incident using the most serious offence in the incident. Of note, cases are often cleared months and
sometimes years later. Consequently, clearance rates for previous years may appear to be much higher than
those of the present year. Cases “cleared by charge” and those “cleared otherwise” are included in these
clearance rate totals.
For a more detailed explanation of the offence counting methodology, please contact the Corporate Data and
Analytics Team (Bureau of Service & Community Support).

Violent crimes are counted at the victim level using the most serious violation against each victim in an incident. 2 Due to the dynamic nature of homicide investigations these numbers
may have been updated manually to reflect the current homicide count. Due to manual updating, it's possible that 1 or more homicides may be reflected in the assault category. Homicide
counts are provided by the homicide unit. 3 Robbery and all other crimes, as well as selected domestic non-criminal incidents, are counted at the incident level using the most serious
offence in the incident. 4 Missing persons are counted by the number of missing individuals. 4

possible that 1 or more homicides may be reflected in the assault category. Homicide counts are provided by the homicide unit. 2The range of average is calculated as 1
standard deviation above and 1 below the calculated average for the previous five year period.

Source: Sentry, June 2024; Averages have been rounded to the nearest whole number; difference from average is calculated based on the unrounded figure.

1Violent crimes are counted at the victim level using the most serious violation against each victim in an incident.
2Due to the dynamic nature of homicide investigations these numbers may have been updated manually to reflect the current homicide count. Due to manual updating, it's
possible that 1 or more homicides may be reflected in the assault category. Homicide counts are provided by the homicide unit. 3Robbery and all other crimes, as well as
selected domestic non-criminal incidents, are counted at the incident level using the most serious offence in the incident.
4A Due to delays in processing of these records figures are considered incomplete.
5Missing persons are counted by the number of missing individuals.
6**NEW**Provincial Bill 21 introduced new sanctions for impaired driving offences under the Provincial Administrative Penalties Act (PAPA) on December 1st 2021. See page
14 for additional detail on provincial Immediate Roadside Sanctions (IRS)for impaired driving. The implementation of the new provincial legislation (Provincial Administrative
Penalties Act) has resulted in a significant reduction in impaired offences under the Criminal Code as most first time impaired drivers will be subject to only an IRS:FAIL (the
specific administrative penalty under the Traffic Safety Act for criminal level impaired driving offences), unless the incident results in death or serious bodily harm or other
significant aggravating factors in which case criminal charges should also be pursued.
