The City of Calgary is broken down into 8 Districts. These districts are a geographical representation which help centralize police offices within the communities to ensure quick response to community needs. Each District has a district office. These districts can be used to calculate information submitted by investigators on criminal activity. The crime statistics can be used to develop crime prevention strategies.
Location of Calgary Police Service headquarters, district offices, and community stations.

Data is provided monthly by the Calgary Police Service. This data is considered cumulative as late-reported incidents are often received well after an offence has occurred. Therefore, crime counts are subject to change as they are updated.
Crime count is based on the most serious violation (MSV) per incident. Violence: These figures include all violent crime offences as defined by the Centre for Canadian Justice Statistics Universal Crime Reporting (UCR) rules. Domestic violence is excluded. Break and Enter: Residential B&E includes both House and ‘Other’ structure break and enters due to the predominantly residential nature of this type of break in (e.g. detached garages, sheds). B&Es incidents include attempts.
*Resident counts are pulled from the latest census data, and therefore undergo a change when new census data is collected and made available (typically in the summer).*

Zones are smaller sub areas located within Police Districts. Zones are then broken down into geocode areas. Zones may be used for crime analysis.

In addition to monitoring crime levels, the Calgary Police Service uses a range of types of calls for service (CFS) to monitor levels of "Disorder." Research indicates that disorder can have a negative impact on public perceptions of safety. Disorder is often highly visible, occurring in public spaces; drunks, panhandling, youth gangs, prostitution, littering, loitering and graffiti are examples of signals of social and physical disorder. A very low proportion of disorder-based calls for service result in crime reports.

Disorder CFS included are: Drunk, Disturbance, Indecent Act, Landlord/tenant, Mental health concern, Neighbor dispute, Party complaint, Suspicious person, Threats, Drugs, Noise complaint, Possible gunshots, Unwanted guest/patron, Prostitution, Speeder, Suspicious Auto (grouped as Social Disorder), Property damage and Abandoned auto (grouped as Physical Disorder).
Only public-generated call types are included: Advised, Callback, and Dispatched (police-generated calls are excluded). All dispositions are included.

Events are assigned to communities based on the geocode in CAD. Count is by single event.

Data source: Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) run on the 4th of the month (or the closest business day) for the previous month. This data is considered to be static. Property Damage occurrences reported using the online reporting system are included from the CPS records management system (SENTRY). This data is considered to be cumulative.
