This dataset provides statistics on EPS-issued warrants that have yet to be executed, broken down by number of people with outstanding warrants (criminal or non-criminal), and by the number of warrants themselves (criminal or non-criminal) outstanding. Data is provided to EPS from CPIC Ottawa.

This dataset provides statistics on EPS-issued warrants that have yet to be executed.

Persons with Criminal Warrants are persons where their most serious warrant is for a criminal offence (however, they may have additional non-criminal warrants).

Persons with Non-Criminal Warrants are persons where their most serious warrant is non-criminal (and hence do not have a criminal warrant).

Data is provided to EPS from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) Ottawa.

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 statistics on EPS's Online Crime Reporting tool.

This tool has been available to the public since the second quarter of 2013 to report less serious crimes online without having to file a report at a police station. Online reporting is a more efficient and streamlined reporting process, thus allowing EPS to redeploy its support resources to other organizational needs. The convenience of online reporting may encourage citizens to report crime that would otherwise go unreported; thus providing EPS with better intelligence about patterns of crime, which can improve police deployment to crime hot-spots.

Online Crime reporting is available for the following police matters:
◦Lost Property
◦Mischief
◦Theft from Vehicle (under $5,000)
◦Theft of Bicycle (under $5,000)
◦Theft under $5,000

Statistics here include:
-the number of EPS occurrence reports that were submitted by the public online, and approved by EPS
-the number of EPS occurrence reports that could have been reported online, but were reported by other means (e.g,. reporting at a police station)
-the percentage of EPS occurrence reports that were reported online (for occurrence types that have the option of being reported online)

The EPS encourages citizens and visitors to our city to report all crimes that occur in Edmonton. Online Crime Reporting is available at: http://www.edmontonpolice.ca/ContactEPS/OnlineCrimeReporting.aspx

This dataset provides statistics on EPS-issued warrants that have yet to be executed, broken down by number of people with outstanding warrants (criminal or non-criminal), and by the number of warrants themselves (criminal or non-criminal) outstanding. Data is provided to EPS from CPIC Ottawa.

EPS Proactive Patrol Time measures the % of EPS patrol shift time that is spent engaged in proactive or preventative policing activities. When not engaging in proactive work, a patrol members time is spent either completing calls-for-service, administrative duties, or as “other” (e.g., getting set up for shift).

Proactive patrol work can be thought of as a policing investment that prevents or suppresses future criminality, or helps maintain public safety. Examples include patrolling a drinking establishment near closing time, searching out an individual with outstanding criminal warrants, or check in with a domestic-violence offender to ensure they are complying with their court ordered conditions.

This dataset provides statistics related to EPS's Recruit Selection Unit.

Recruit Applicants are the number of sworn recruit applicants for new recruit class, or the Experienced Officer Program, that have passed the eight stage application process. Statistics here include potential "reactivations", where an applicant completed the process previously, was temporarily deferred, and has completed the process again.

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 EPS statistics for our Response Time Performance and Dispatch Call Volume for Priority 1 through 5 events.

Response Time Performance measures the percentage of the time that EPS dispatches a priority call and gets patrol on-scene to the event in the targeted time. The targeted time varies by priority level. Time here does not include the time it takes before the call is made available to the dispatcher. EPS's long-standing target is to meet the targeted time for 80% of events.

The calculation for Response Time Performance is based on a subset of Dispatch Call Volume; it excludes impaired driving calls (i.e., non-fixed location calls), on-view calls (patrol observes the event before the public calls it in), and follow-up calls. Hence, quarterly Response Time Performance cannot be converted to annual figures based on the data provided here.

Priority 1 through 5 calls are categorized as follows:

◦Priority 1: In Progress Person At Risk - a rapid response will likely prevent or reduce further harm to a person. E.g., assault with a weapon in progress. Target: 7 minutes or less.

◦Priority 2: In Progress Property At Risk - Immediate response will likely prevent or reduce the further loss of property. E.g., a citizen observing a theft of auto in progress. Target: 12 minutes or less.

◦Priority 3: Just Occurred - Immediate response will increase the likelihood of locating a suspect. E.g., a mischief that occurred very recently. Target: 17 minutes or less.

◦Priority 4: The Nature of the Occurrence is Time Sensitive. E.g., a shoplifter is in-custody with security and is cooperative. Target: 40 minutes or less.

◦Priority 5: General Service - The nature of the offence is not time sensitive. E.g., a business finds that they were vandalized the night before (i.e., the absence of in progress or just occurred). Target: 180 minutes or less.

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.
