Greater Sudbury Police Service recorded a 145-incident jump in violent offences last year and a 499-incident decrease in property offences, yielding a net 1% drop in criminal offences in 2022
The number of violent offences increased by 5.3 per cent in Greater Sudbury last year, while property crime incidents dropped by 9.3 per cent.
Chief Paul Pedersen offered the city’s police board a rundown of 2022 crime statistics during Wednesday’s meeting, at which he clarified there’s no lack of nuance to the numbers. When it comes to the community’s sense of fear, Pedersen later clarified that the majority of violent incidents involve victims and offenders known to each other, “so they’re not a danger to strangers.”
He took a moment to urge the public to report crimes, either directly to police or through their online CopLogic reporting tool available by clicking here. Even in cases where there isn’t a meaningful resolve for the complainant, he said that when police know where crime is happening they can better target areas of the community for crime prevention efforts.
