Police Use of Force Race-Based Data

The Anti-Racism Act, 2017 and its associated regulation and guidance require the Ministry of the Solicitor General to collect and analyze race-based data in police use of force. These datasets include information extracted from provincially mandated police Use of Force Reports. The technical reports that accompany the datasets provide a detailed description of how the data were collected; data quality concerns; data cleaning and validation; and data limitations. This information is essential for understanding how to analyze the data appropriately and interpret any results from analysis. Note: Datasets on this page may be updated periodically. For information on data updates, please consult the available metadata such as data dictionary and supporting documentation.
