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 for incidents that occurred between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022. The technical report that accompanies the datasets provides 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 analyse the data appropriately and interpret any results from analysis. The technical report also includes a discussion of how to improve the data and analysis in the future.
