2012 4th Quarter & Year End Crime Statistics Overview
Tue, 2013-02-26
Commissioner of Police Michael DeSilva - Good afternoon. The first thing I would like to address is the reason for the late arrival of the end of year report that would ordinarily have been released before now. The delay was caused by a computer crash last July where we lost about two weeks of data. Considerable effort went into trying to recover the data both electronically and through paper records but despite our best efforts we were not able to reconcile 100% of everything that was reported in those two weeks. What we have done is ensured that all major and serious crimes and anything to do with gun crime have been accurately reflected in the report. [View full press conference video].
