Winnipeg Police Service News Release

Monday, February 6th, 2012     Winnipeg Police Service 2010 Annual Report Amendment Further to the January 12th, 2012 Media Release The Winnipeg Police Service 2010 Annual Report was made available to the public on December 28th, 2011. Following its release errors came to light that resulted in the Service conducting a review of statistics relative to 2009 and 2010 calendar years.    Winnipeg Police and Statistic Canada worked closely to verify submitted statistics and identify the cause of any anomalies.  The review confirmed accuracy of reported statistics, with the only exception being the Theft Over $5000.00 and Theft Under $5000.00 categories, where a coding error resulted in approximately 8000 higher reported incidents in these categories combined.   All other categories of numbers were confirmed correct.    The overall impact of the review is a minor change in the crime rate decrease from -7% to – 6%.   An updated version of the revised Report is now available on our website: http://www.winnipeg.ca/police/annualreports/2010/2010_wps_annual_report_english.pdf      For further information contact either: Constable Natalie Aitken, Public Information Officer Constable Jason Michalyshen, Public Information Officer Office: (204)986-3061 Fax: (204) 986-3267 Email: WPS-PIO@Winnipeg.ca   Web: www.winnipeg.ca/Police
