Maskwacis RCMP note drop in Crime Severity Index for community
Statistics Canada's latest data shows crime severity trending downward in Maskwacis, according to local RCMP.
Maskwacis RCMP say they are encouraged by the latest Crime Severity Index figures released by Statistics Canada in late July, which show a decline for the community.
The index, a national measure used to track the volume and severity of police-reported crime over time, showed positive trends for Maskwacis compared to previous reporting periods, according to detachment officials.
RCMP characterized the numbers as a sign of progress but did not detail specific programs or enforcement strategies behind the change in the release.
