What does “crime” mean for Calgary?

Crime by community means the indicators Calgary Police Service publishes for Calgary (2020–2025). They are reported incident or offence counts, not arrests, charges, or a safety score. The same heading in another city is not the same offence.

Where do the numbers come from?

Police figures come from Calgary Police Service. Area boundaries come from City of Calgary · community boundaries. Rates, when a denominator exists, use Statistics Canada · population estimates and are shown per 10,000 residents. A missing year, indicator, or boundary stays missing.

How often is this updated?

The site is updated periodically, with no fixed public schedule and no live feed. Comparable charts use full years. A year-to-date control, when the page has one, labels the partial year separately.

What does this not show?

Drug offences and overdose deaths are separate series, not part of these communities. There is no single cross-city crime index. Counting rules and source links are on the Calgary about page.

01 · Reading the timeline

The sheet starts in 2020.

Counts come from the Calgary Police community crime sheet. 2026 is year-to-date through 2026-06. Earlier years are not in this workbook and are left blank.

Assault is non-domestic assault. Break and enter sums three premise types. Street and commercial robbery are summed. Theft from a vehicle and disorder calls stay out.

02 · Scope

4 local indicators.

These are selected Calgary Police categories, not all recorded crime.

Assault: Assault (non-domestic) only. Domestic assault is not in this community file.
Auto Theft: Theft of a vehicle.
Break and Enter: Break and enter at a commercial property, a dwelling, or other premises, summed.
Robbery: Street robbery and commercial robbery, summed.

Hate-crime and money-laundering sources have not been added for Calgary. Their views explain that coverage gap. The indicators above cannot stand in for either subject.

03 · Place & population

Community boundaries and counts.

The workbook names 273 communities. The map joins 270 communities to Open Calgary boundaries. 01H Crestmont, Residual Areas and Tnps have counts without a matching polygon and stay in the list. Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – City of Calgary.

0.00% of the full-year indicator records were not placed in an area (0 reports). They remain in the city total.

Citywide rates use Statistics Canada estimates for the City of Calgary. Adapted from Statistics Canada, Table 17-10-0155-01, Population estimates, July 1, by census subdivision, 2021 boundaries, July 1, 2020 to 2025 (released 2026-01-14).
