About these numbers

Every figure here comes from the Winnipeg Police Service’s public Crime and Calls for Service map. WPS describes the data as preliminary and subject to change, and it is not WPS’s official statistics.

These are not all of the calls WPS handles. WPS reports averaging more than 2,000 calls a day; the dashboard shows the calls it categorises for public release, and some calls — including those involving domestic violence, sexual offences and personal health — are left out or folded into general categories for privacy. Read every number here as a floor on how busy officers were, not the whole of it.

Locations are generalised by WPS to the neighbourhood. Call times are shown by the hour only. More about the data, its limits and how this site works.

In an emergency, call 911. Police non-emergency: 204-986-6222. This is an independent site, not affiliated with the Winnipeg Police Service or the City of Winnipeg.
