REPORT NOTES
Most of the sta s cal 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 Analy cs Team of the Bureau of Service & Community Support.
Repor ng 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 me at which the police were no fied of the offence and repor ng lag may
vary due to circumstances (these are typically property crimes where the vic m did not report the offence un l
a later date, or was unaware of the loss un l a later date, or late‐reported sexual assaults). Also note that
“a empted” offences are included in these totals. Violent crime, excluding robbery, is counted by the number
of vic ms, using the most serious offence against the vic m. Robbery, and all other crime, is counted by
incident using the most serious offence in the incident. Of note, cases are o en cleared months and
some mes 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 explana on of the offence coun ng methodology, please contact the Corporate Data and
Analy cs Team (Bureau of Service & Community Support).

Calls for service included in the “mental health concern” component of social disorder are only those calls from the public which are specifically coded
as a mental health concern or mental health warrant. It is important to recognize that any call police are asked to attend may involve some element of
mental health concern, even though they are not coded as such. This applies particularly to calls about suicide, missing persons or check on welfare,
which are not included in this data as they are not considered social disorder. 2 In June 2020 a change to event type coding resulted in the removal of
Landlord/Tenant and Neighbour Dispute event subtypes. Calls to events involving these types of disputes are now coded according to the nature of the
dispute rather than the relationship between the parties. Some may be represented in other event subtypes within Disorder such as Disturbance,
Unwanted Guest, or Property Damage, while others may be coded as Keep the Peace or Assault and as a result would no longer be included in Disorder.
3
The majority of Property Damage calls result in Criminal Code reports, which are counted under 'Other Property Crimes'. 4 The range of average is
calculated as 1 standard deviation above and 1 below the calculated average for the previous five-year period.

Source: Sentry, February 2023; 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 change made to the way in which bail violations and failures to appear/attend violations in 2017 makes the numbers for these categories non-comparable across the five-
year period.
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.

Violent crimes are counted at the victim level using the most serious violation against each victim in an incident. 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.
