Explanations About the Data

There are over 300 Municipalities in Alberta counting Villages and Reserves. We currently track about 150 Municipalities spread out across the seven common regions of the province.

The Calgary Police Service data is available via pdf. Below is an example of how the crime rate for Calgary is recorded. We remove counts of Fraud and add in counts of Robbery at a Commercial Location. In Calgary’s case the total count for April was 4,380. There were 397 cases of Fraud and 28 cases of Robbery at a Commercial location. The final number was 4011 or 4380–397+28=4011.
