Adequacy Standards
Crime, Call and Public Disorder Analysis

Policy No: 02/00-5
Effective Date: July 26, 2000


Legislative/Regulatory Requirements

Section 5(1)(c) of the Adequacy Standards Regulation requires a police service to have a crime analysis, call analysis and public disorder analysis capacity.  Section 5(4) allows a police service to provide crime, call and public disorder analysis by contracting with another police service, or entering into arrangements to perform these services on a combined, regional or cooperative basis.   

In addition, under section 7 of the regulation a police service may obtain the services of a crime analysis specialist who is not a member of a police service to assist with crime, call and public disorder analysis, subject to that individual being under the direction of a member of a police service.

Section 29 requires a police services board to have a policy on crime, call and public disorder analysis.  Also, section 13(1)(d) requires the Chief of Police to establish procedures and processes in respect of crime, call, and public disorder analysis.  

Furthermore, section 13(2) requires a board to have a policy that addresses the sharing of crime, call and public disorder analysis and information on crime trends with its municipal council, school boards, community organizations and groups, businesses and members of the public in the municipality it serves.

Board Policy 

It is the policy of the Regional Municipality of York Police Services Board with respect to crime, call and public disorder analysis that: 

  1. crime, call and public disorder analysis will be provided by the York Regional Police; and

  2. the Chief of Police will:

    1. establish systems and procedures for the collection, collation, analysis and dissemination of crime, call, and public disorder data;

    2. ensure, if the police service uses its own members to perform crime, call and public disorder analysis, and persons who assist, that they have the knowledge, skills and abilities to perform the functions, and have the necessary equipment;

    3. report back to the board on the criteria and process to be used for sharing relevant crime, call and public disorder analysis with municipal council and officials, school boards, community organizations and groups, businesses and members of the public; and

    4. provide information in the annual report on crime, calls for service and public disorder patterns, trends and forecasts based on crime, call and public disorder analysis.
