Unfounded cases are excluded: As defined by Statistics Canada (2020), "Unfounded" means police investigations determined that the reported offence did not occur or was not attempted.

Data verification: Crime data is preliminary and may not be fully verified at the time of publication.

Privacy protection: Crime occurrence locations have been offset to the nearest road intersection node to ensure privacy. These locations should be considered approximate and must not be interpreted as exact addresses.

Geographical accuracy: The Toronto Police Service does not guarantee the exact count of occurrences in specific divisions and neighborhoods due to location offsets. Therefore, this dataset should not be compared to other sources of crime data.
