Uniform Crime Reporting
Uniform Crime Reporting
online training course
Until March 31, 2016, Public Safety Canada, in
collaboration with the Canadian Centre for Justice
Statistics, is sponsoring free access to this course for all
Canadian sworn and civilian police members.
The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Survey has produced
a continuous historical record of crime and traffic
statistics reported by every police agency in Canada since
1962. The data from the UCR Survey serves a critical
purpose in policing and provides key information for
crime analysis, resource planning, and program
development for the policing community.
The Uniform Crime Reporting course instructs on the
proper input of data into the UCR Survey, ensuring that it
can be effectively used in Statistics Canada's crime data
statistics. In addition to detailing how to complete
specific fields within the survey, this course also includes
modules specific to Hate Crime Awareness reporting and
Organized Crime reporting. Created for sworn police
officers and civilian members of police services, this
course is designed to replace the Canadian Centre for
Justice Statistic's (at Statistics Canada) traditional
classroom training.
