Report from the Crime Analyst at 51 Division

As 2012 ushers in a new year filled with hope and new opportunities, it also gives us a chance to reflect on the year just passed.  2011 was a year that saw many changes in the Regent Park area, both in physical appearance and in reported crime.  End of the year statistics for the entire division showed decreases in most major categories, the Regent Park area was no different.
