Although violent crime incidents dropped by 4.9 per cent in 2022, they’re still well up compared to multi-year averages, while 2022 property crime totals are below the averages
Despite Greater Sudbury’s violent crime incidents dropping by 4.9 per cent last year, the rate still remains higher than multi-year averages.
“There is gun violence that we haven’t traditionally had in the past,” GSPS Sgt. Matt Hall told Sudbury.com, adding the increase is in keeping with what’s being seen throughout Northern Ontario. The proposed 2023 police budget, which includes the creation of a four-member homicide unit, is part of their reaction to this.
Although last year’s overall 11-per-cent drop in crime is good news, Mayor Paul Lefebvre told Sudbury.com, “We still have work to do.” The vast majority of violent crimes in Greater Sudbury involve people known to each other, according to emailed correspondence from Greater Sudbury Police. They are often related to intimate partner violence, as well as family and neighbour disputes.
“Locally, we continue to see individuals involved in organized crime migrate from Southern Ontario to Northern Ontario in order to establish criminal enterprises that involve trafficking both illicit substances and/or persons.”
