These annual figures describe the full caseload of the Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu police service without showing where incidents occurred within the service area, so neighbourhood or street patterns cannot be seen in this data. As police-reported data, the counts reflect incidents that came to police attention and recording practices, and Statistics Canada publishes each year's data the following July, so the latest year reflects that reporting cycle.
