Metro Montreal 7689
What is Edmonton’s?
As all policing in Canada is contracted out, one would think that civic governments would issue an annual report as to the performance of these contractors.
A base line performance stat is “clearance rate” or resolved cases,
Here is some Metro Vancouver stats as reported in one of Vancouver’s dallies.
National average 33%
Metro Vancouver -city police 20%
Port Moody 29%
White Rock 27%
Surrey - RCMP 18%
Richmond 12%
What is Edmonton’s?
Is Edmonton’s murder rate above the national average; in fact is Edmonton’s crime rate above the national Average if it is hold your policing contractor responsible for their shabby work.
All Crime is down 40% in the last decade.
