Through our Uniform Crime Reporting Survey, we extract information from more than 600 police services across Canada. We get the data in a consistent manner. It's high quality.
The challenge we currently have is that anecdotally we know that some police services are taking a trauma-informed approach in dealing with human trafficking victims and may not categorize an incident as human trafficking because the victim doesn't want to press charges and the police are following their lead. Also, they might be informed by the Crown that they need to lay a charge of something else in order to get this case moving through the system. There are some instances of this happening, and therefore we are currently having additional conversations with some police services to say, “Could we be coding it some way? How can we capture some of the information you are gathering? We know you're doing good work with some victims, but we're not getting all of that information.”
Some of those conversations are ongoing, and if there are opportunities to exploit data from these agencies, we will try to resolve this.
