The National Policy Centre for the RCMP recommends one door-knock per year in all our jurisdictions, just to confirm the data provided through the offender and computer checks. There is a number of reasons why some places are successful at doing it and others are not. It's important to remember that we're trying to balance the privacy interests of the offender and enforce the law as well.
Because the RCMP police a lot of small areas, the police know pretty much everyone in town. In those places, they may not be doing the door-knocks. It's not recorded, but the compliance check is done because they know John Doe. They see him every day at Tim Hortons or whatever it may be. So saying it's 40% is not necessarily an accurate picture of the compliance.
