Impaired Driving measures the number of EPS-reported incidents of impaired driving. The number here uses the number of victims when the incident involves victims. Impaired driving is a leading cause of criminal death in Canada, as well as a significant factor for traffic collision, injuries, and fatalities.

A driver will face a criminal charge of impaired driving when they exceed a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08, or when there is other evidence that a driver is impaired. The number of incidents here also includes impairment by narcotics or prescription medication, or when cooperation with testing for alcohol or drugs is refused.

The following UCR2 codes are used for this crime statistic:

9210 Impaired operation - causing death
9215 Impaired operation (drugs) - causing death
9220 Impaired operation - causing bodily harm
9225 Impaired operation (drugs) - causing bodily harm
9230 Impaired operation of motor vehicle, vessel or aircraft
9235 Impaired operation (drugs) vehicle, vessel, aircraft
9240 Impaired operation - failure to provide breath sample
9245 Failure to comply or refusal (drugs)
9250 Impaired operation - failure to provide blood sample

This dataset provides crime occurrence counts for EPS's 8 Crime Indicators.

An "occurrence" is a set of connected criminal events which constitute an occurrence report. The occurrence counts here are distinct from 'incidents' and 'victims' as reported by Statistics Canada.

The crime types used here are for EPS's 4 Property Crime and 4 Violent Crime Indicators only. Hence, not every type of property crime or violent crime incident is shown here (e.g,. kidnapping and theft under $5,000 are excluded here). This also excludes criminal code violations that fall under Other Criminal Code Violations, Federal Statute Violations, and Criminal Code Traffic Violations.

The criminal code that is used here is based on the most serious violation of the occurrence. For example, if a break & enter occurred that involved an aggravated assault, only the aggravated assault would be counted. This follows the standard for how Statistics Canada reports on crime throughout Canada.

Data here measures the number of impaired driving incidents per 100,000 population. Incidents include impairment from alcohol, narcotics, or prescription medication, and include failure to comply with testing.

Data is obtained from Statistics Canada, tables 252-0075 to 252-0081.

This dataset measures the number of EPS-reported Social Disorder Occurrences. Social disorder is composed of the following police events.

◦Weapons Complaint
◦Trouble with Person
◦Prostitution
◦Noise Complaint
◦Mischief
◦Mental Health Act Complaints
◦Disturbance
◦Arson
◦Abandoned Vehicle

Statistics Canada's Crime Severity Index of the top 20 largest Canadian Cities.

The Crime Severity Index (CSI) assesses the severity of criminality by measuring both the volume of police-reported criminal incidents and weighting for more severe crime, while factoring for the level of population. The CSI is indexed to equal 100 in Canada for the year 2006.

This dataset provides EPS's Crime Severity Index and Weighted Clearance Rate statistics. Figures provided here are based on in-house calculations with small measurement errors compared to what is produced by Statistics Canada.

The Crime Severity Index (CSI) assesses the severity of criminality by measuring both the volume of police-reported criminal incidents and weighting for more severe crime, while factoring for the level of population. The CSI is available for any city or region across Canada, and is indexed to equal 100 in Canada for the year 2006.

The Weighted Clearance Rate (WCR) measures the percentage of EPS-reported criminal incidents that are cleared by charge, or cleared by "other" (e.g., using the Youth Criminal Act, the accused is deceased), weighted by crime severity.

Both measures here account for all criminal code violations, which can be categorized at a high-level as: Violent Crime, Property Crime, Other Criminal Code Violations, Federal Statute Violations, and Criminal Code Traffic Violations. The counting methodology here follows that of Statistics Canada by only counting the most serious violation for a criminal incident, and counting the number of victims for violent-based offences.

This dataset provides statistics on historical missing person files that is the responsibility of EPS. A historical missing person is someone who has been reported missing 90+ days. Statistics here also include several files where human remains have been found and have yet to be identified.

Concluded Historical Missing Person files are those where the historical missing person is located (alive or deceased) or new evidence suggests the missing person is in another policing jurisdiction - in which case investigative responsibility is transferred to the other policing jurisdiction.

The number of concluded files and added files up to the end of 2015 are annual figures; figures in 2016 are based on a yearly quarter.
