Prince Albert’s crime severity index takes deep dive
After three consecutive years of increases, Prince Albert’s crime severity index dropped over 19 per cent from 2023 to 2024.
According to Statistics Canada, there was a decrease in both violent and non-violent crimes.
“The reduction in Prince Albert’s Crime Severity Index is an encouraging development and a positive signal for our community. While many factors can influence these numbers, we are cautiously optimistic that the collective focus on targeted enforcement, internal restructuring, and increased presence in key areas is having a meaningful impact. The Prince Albert Police Service remains committed to evidence-based policing, ongoing community collaboration, and adapting our strategies to meet the evolving needs of public safety,” Chief of Police Patrick Nogier said.
Prince Albert’s Crime Severity Index reflects a significant decrease compared to the Canadian CSI which decreased four per cent in 2024.
