A CULTURE OF SAFETY FOR ALL

2019 ANNUAL STATISTICAL REPORT

Chief Danny Smyth
2019 Annual Statistical Report
HIGHLIGHTS
he Winnipeg Police Service 2019 Annual Statistical
Report reflects the crime that was reported in
Winnipeg, but it only tells part of the story in what was
a remarkable year. The level of brazen violent crime and
property crime was alarming. Violent crime and property
crime were well above the 5-year averages—and our
5-year averages were already well above the Canadian Population vs. Police Officers
average.
Population Winnipeg
In particular, we saw homicides double from the previous # Authorized Police Officers
year—significantly over the average of 22 homicides that
we are accustomed to. This included several children who
were homicide victims, and remarkably, two homicides 800 000 1450
where the suspects were children.

# Authorized Police Officers

Property crime also increased—with significant increases in theft and fraud. Nearly a third 750 000 1400

Population
of the thefts that were reported occurred in liquor stores throughout the city.
Police dealt with more crime. We were also called upon to deal with public safety and 700 000 1350
disorder which often meant dealing with people in crisis. This environment, along with an
unprecedented demand for police service, required drastic changes to be made part way
650 000 1300
through the year to meet operational demands. 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019
• We added additional officers to the Homicide Unit to address the case back-log by
reassigning investigators from Project Devote and our Integrated Intelligence Unit.
• We added additional officers to general patrol and downtown foot patrol by reassigning
Traffic Division officers and Community Support Division officers. Police Officers / 100 000 Population
• It also meant closing the district police stations to walk-in reporting so their Service 220
Centre officers could be reassigned as well.
210
These changes were required so that we could address the back-log, provide better front-
line response, and address the health and wellness of our front-line officers. We made the 200
most of the resources we had, providing a balanced and strategic approach to manage a
challenging environment. 190

Note: The actual counts, the rates, the percent changes, and the clearance rates data for City of Winnipeg crime totals include calculations submitted to the Canadian Centre for Justice
Statistics (CCJS). Due to CCJS updates, previously reported numbers are subject to change. Because the data printed in previous Winnipeg Police Service Annual Statistical Reports do not
contain the updates, actual crime figures may vary slightly with CCJS historical data. Statistical data are accurate as at date of publication.

Note: The actual counts, the rates, the percent changes, and the clearance rates data for City of Winnipeg crime totals include calculations submitted to the Canadian Centre for Justice
Statistics (CCJS). Due to CCJS updates, previously reported numbers are subject to change. Because the data printed in previous Winnipeg Police Service Annual Statistical Reports do not
contain the updates, actual crime figures may vary slightly with CCJS historical data. Statistical data are accurate as at date of publication.
Unless otherwise specified, all data contained within this report were compiled and produced by the WPS Research & Development Unit.
