REPORT NOTES
Most of the sta s cal data in this report is derived from the Calgary Police Service records management system (SENTRY) and compiled by the Centralized Analysis Unit. Disorder data is derived from the Computer aided Dispatch (CAD) system.
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. Person crime offences, excluding robbery,
are counted by the number of vic ms, using the most serious offence against the vic m. Robbery, and all
other crimes at the incident level, is counted 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.
