Source: Calgary Police Service. Most-serious-violation methodology; domestic violence excluded. From 2024-12, figures come from the Calgary Police Service, which rounds counts between 1 and 5 to 2 for privacy. Earlier figures are exact counts from the City of Calgary Open Data Portal. Small numbers are therefore not directly comparable across that date.
