All crimes have been split between violent and non-violent crimes. More serious crimes are assigned higher weights, and less serious offences are assigned lower weights. As a result, more serious offences have a greater impact on changes in the index.
The Overall Crime Severity Index has been on a slight increasing trend since 2020. Despite this increasing trend, St Albert's rate is still significantly lower than the Provincial and National averages.
Note: Crime Severity Index data for 2024 will be updated in 2025 following its release by Statistics Canada.
