Status of Women committee  We don't have the availability of the race information, but it is something we're recognizing. Even though some may view it as a prejudicial measure for officers to collect that information when investigating, it is an important piece of information that helps us support the marginalized groups of people in the right way--by knowing who they identify with, what race they identify with.

Status of Women committee  Right now the Edmonton Police Service is not mandated to collect race information when they're filling out a police report, so in 2010 only 13% of all police-related occurrences had a race populated for at least one person involved in the incident. We do collect race information for people involved in hate/bias crimes, but because we're not mandated to collect the information, it is very sparsely populated in our record management system.
