Frequently asked questions

Where does CrimeMaps.ca get its crime statistics?

From official police and municipal open-data portals for 60 Canadian cities. See /crime-data for the full source list and /about for methodology.

How often are these statistics updated?

Rolling, per city. Most cities refresh daily or weekly. Check each city page for its last-updated date.

How does this differ from Statistics Canada crime statistics?

Statistics Canada publishes annually via UCR2. CrimeMaps aggregates from municipal open-data portals so updates arrive faster, though some cities do not publish openly and coverage varies. See /methodology.

What counts as a "crime incident"?

A single reported offence in a police or municipal open-data feed. Not every offence results in a charge or conviction; we report what the source publishes.
